The Russian government is working on the possibility of introducing cryptographically protected tablet computers for organizing a mobile office for an official. To do this, public servants will have to abandon the use of an unprotected iPad tablet computer.

Despite the fact that Apple is trying to develop special software for its iPad products, integrated protection does not exist , explains Mr. Martirosyan. At the same time, the same BlackBerry offers built-in support for cryptographic algorithms and other security schemes .
“The idea of ​​transferring officials from Apple’s tablet products to more secure platforms is a necessity,” said one of the initiators of this idea who works in the government. - Can you imagine what risk the state will be if the information from the Assistant Deputy Minister of Health’s iPad falls into the wrong hands? And if it will be an official from the Ministry of Defense? That is why the issue of secure devices is now being worked out, ”he explains.
The full text of the news from RBC: Officials will lose their iPad and get secure tablets for working with documents .
“RIM is pleased to announce that the BlackBerry PlayBook has become the first FIPS certified tablet for use by the US federal government,” said Rott Vice President of Security Scott Totzke .
FIPS is the Federal Information Processing Standards or Federal Information Processing Standards at NIST, which is the National Institute of Standards and Technology , that is, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and obtaining such a certificate is a necessary condition, according to US Federal Information Security Management or FISMA, aka Federal Information Security Management Act , which translates roughly means the decree on the management of federal information security.
Interestingly, the aforementioned RBC note doesn’t say exactly what kind of secure tablets will replace dangerous iPads, and only by turning on the logic we can assume that we are most likely talking about the BlackBerry PlayBook.
