BlackBerry&reg; continues its lead as the wireless platform of choice in the government
sector as Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announces the
availability of its S/MIME Support Package v4.0 for BlackBerry and FIPS 140-2 security
certification for BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>With advanced security capabilities
and a comprehensive wireless solution for managing email, phone, text messaging,
organizer, Internet and intranet applications, BlackBerry is widely used by government
personnel to enhance operations, productivity and responsiveness. Many government
organizations are also using BlackBerry to support Continuity of Operations Planning
(COOP) activities by enabling users to efficiently store emergency preparedness
information, standard operating procedures, emergency call lists and other continuity of
operations documents on their BlackBerry handhelds. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>&#147;The BlackBerry platform has
consistently led the industry for secure wireless communications in the government sector
and our new S/MIME Support Package and the FIPS 140-2 certification for our latest
software further strengthens that position,&#148; said Mike Lazaridis, President and
Co-CEO at Research In Motion. &#147;A broad range of government customers have come to
rely on BlackBerry because of its advanced security architecture, support for government
standards and the flexibility to support new and existing initiatives.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>BlackBerry Enterprise Server
v4.0&#153; software and BlackBerry Handheld Software&#153; v3.8 and v4.0 have received the
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation for the cryptographic
modules embedded in the software. The FIPS 140 security standard is issued by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is recognized by both the Canadian and
U.S governments. FIPS 140-2 (Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules) provides the
security requirements that are to be satisfied by a cryptographic module implemented
within a security system. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>&#147;The Cryptographic Module
Validation Program (CMVP) enables vendors to demonstrate the conformance of their
cryptographic modules to FIPS 140-2, which is an important purchasing requirement for
government organizations in North America,&#148; said Randall J. Easter, Director, NIST
CMVP. &#147;RIM is being recognized for its BlackBerry validation and its continued
support of the FIPS 140-2 program.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Under the Information Technology
Management Reform Act, the Secretary of Commerce approves standards and guidelines that
are developed by NIST for U.S. Federal computer systems. NIST collaborates with national
and international standards committees, users, industry groups, consortia, and research
and trade organizations to get needed standards developed. These guidelines are issued by
NIST as standards for use throughout government. NIST develops new standards when there
are compelling Federal government requirements such as for security and privacy of
sensitive information in Federal computer systems. </FONT></P>


<H1 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>ENHANCED SUPPORT FOR
S/MIME SECURITY STANDARD: </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>RIM also introduced its S/MIME
Support Package v4.0 for BlackBerry&reg; today. This add-on security software operates
with the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server &#153; v4.0 for Microsoft&reg; Exchange and
Java-based handhelds.* </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The S/MIME Support Package v4.0 for
BlackBerry provides S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) support for
Java-based BlackBerry wireless devices. S/MIME is an email-system-independent, Internet
standards-based protocol that uses public key cryptography to provide writer-to-reader
security features, such as authentication, confidentiality and message integrity. This
straightforward upgrade allows government and corporate organizations to wirelessly extend
their existing email infrastructure, while maintaining both sender-to-recipient encryption
and a simple and fast user interface. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>New features of the S/MIME Support
Package v4.0 running on BlackBerry Enterprise Server include: </FONT></P>

<ul>
<li>        Built-in Entrust  Entelligence(TM)Messaging Server support,  making it easier to send fully encrypted  messages,  especially to
         multiple recipients or recipients outside the corporate domain.
<li>        Long message signature checking, allowing users to rely on the server's verification of signatures for large messages.
<li>        Support for server-side encryption of S/MIME messages sent to the wireless handheld, increasing message security by allowing
         BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrators to encrypt signed messages to the handheld.
<li>        Automatic retrieval of digital certificates and certificate status when sending or receiving an S/MIME message, reducing
         process time for certificate requests.

</ul>
<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Other features include an improved user
interface, attachment viewing support for signed messages, extended IT policy support,
enhanced CRL (Certificate Revocation List) support and enhanced certificate status
checking. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The S/MIIME Support Package v4.0 for
BlackBerry integrates with advanced solutions from RIM&#146;s security partners including

technology for their enhanced security needs. </FONT></P>

BlackBerry wireless platform with the Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server is a
significant extension of our relationship,&#148; said Leah MacMillan, Vice President of

Support Package v4.0 can now enjoy simplified secure email and benefit from strong

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Tumbleweed Communications (Nasdaq:
TMWD) has integrated its Tumbleweed Valicert Validation Authority with the S/MIME Support
Package v4.0 for BlackBerry, which will offer users a solution for digital certificate
validation that&#146;s based on the open standard OCVP (Online Certificate Validation
Protocol). The Validation Authority allows applications to wirelessly validate the status
of a digital certificate; ensuring organizations do not rely on revoked credentials for
secure email. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>&#147;Combining BlackBerry with the
Validation Authority, email messages sent from wireless handhelds can be as secure as
email messages sent from desktops on the enterprise LAN,&#148; said John Hines, Director
of Identity Validation Product Development fro Tumbleweed Communications. &#147;By using
S/MIME and validating digital certificates, customers can ensure the security of their
wireless email, allowing users to be certain about the identity of the party they are
communicating with and the integrity of the messages they are sending.&#148; </FONT></P>

e-mail security,&#148; said Karl Weintz, Vice President of Products at CoreStreet.
&#147;Advanced security requires knowing that the message you are reading is both
authentic and free of any sort of tampering, and CoreStreet&#146;s technology allows users
