米海軍が公的＆私的利用ＯＫのスマートフォンの導入を決めた。機種は、iPhone 5SとiPhone 6の２機種。
米軍は、公的利用にBlackBerryと言う元祖スマートフォンを多用しているが、アップルやAndroidスマートフォンの台頭に抗しきれず、日本では既に販売中止でいつまでサービスが続くのか？と言う状態に陥っている。BlackBerryのサービスは、NTTドコモが継続する事になっているが、今回の米海軍の作戦部長の通知により、在日海軍も多数がiPhoneに以降する事となりそうだ。
国内でのBlackBerryの最大ユーザーは、実は米軍であるから、今回の通知でユーザーは確実に減少する。この動きについては、NTTドコモへの影響も大きいだろう。国内第二位のBlackBerryユーザーである企業も既にiPhoneの一般社員利用に踏み切っており、立て続けに有力なBlackBerryユーザーがスマートフォンへの移行を決定した。さて何時までBlackBerryのサービスを維持出来るのかが注目される。
しかしながらBlackBerryを愛する人たちは実は多くいる。特にメールの送信文入力などは両手で「パカパカ」と、実にスムーズに長文を打つことなど平気な御仁はザラ。こんな人は自分の周りにもいる。BlackBerryの効率的な入力に慣れた彼らは、スマートフォンの入力方式に満足する事はないだろう。
ご参考まで、下記に作戦部長の通知文を掲載する。

RMKS:/1. This NAVADMIN provides information and guidance on the use of government issued mobility devices in support of the advancement of information technology wireless services on the Navy Marine-Corps Intranet (NMCI).
2. Mobility is transforming how the Navy operates, connects, and supports our personnel and the fleet. To meet this growing demand the Naval Enterprise Networks (NEN) program office (PMW-205) has implemented a mobile solution to meet operational needs while complying with architectural and security requirements to protect the Navy enterprise. This new service initially supports iPhone 5s/6 running iOS 8. Android and newer iPhone/iOS versions will be supported as they are released and certified for operation on the NMCI network. Information, processes, and user guides/acknowledgement are available at https://www.homeport.navy.mil/services/mobile/.
3. New devices will use a Good Technology (trademark) container to securely segregate official data from personal data, thereby providing users the ability to perform government work and personal activities securely and effectively on the same device per U.S. Navy policies on acceptable use of government IT. Mobile device configuration, security settings, and policy enforcement will be managed using Good Technology (trademark) mobile device management software and equipment installed on NMCI.
4. The improved service will be available to users who are approved by their local command and can be ordered as a standard wireless device update through the command's contract technical representative (CTR) or the command*s wireless account manager. Existing blackberry capabilities will continue to be supported until end of life or full transition to iOS and Android devices.
5. Per reference (a), the following stipulations apply.
a. Use of personally owned devices is not authorized.
b. Program Manager (PM) shall enable TouchID, ensuring it is only used to access the native (non-secure) persona of the device. The additional password requirements to access the Good container minimizes the risk of access to DoD information. Further, on devices without TouchID the PM shall retain the passcode minimum of four alphanumeric characters to authenticate to the native (non-secure) persona of the device.
c. Access to the Good Container will be controlled via a minimum eight character passcode containing alpha/numeric and special characters.
d. Commands and users are responsible for adhering to all applicable physical security requirements for portable electronic devices in command spaces.
e. The camera will be turned on by default, with the option to have it turned off per individual or as directed at the command level. Cameras on Government Furnished Equipment devices will be subject to wireless security restrictions imposed by the facility in which the device is being operated per reference (f). Cellular/PCS and/or other RF or Infrared (IR) wireless devices shall not be allowed into an area where classified information is discussed or processed without written approval from the DAA in consultation with the Cognizant Security Authority (CSA) Certified TEMPEST Technical Authority (CTTA) per reference (g).
f. Non-work applications may be installed only outside the Good Container and may only be acquired from the iTunes/Google app stores. Users are responsible for all charges and installations of personally desired applications and data installed on the non-secure portion of the device.
6. DoD Instruction 8520.02 requires all Department of Defense (DoD) information systems, including networks and email, be enabled to use DoD-issued public key infrastructure certificates in order to support authentication, access control, confidentiality, data integrity, and nonrepudiation. DON users shall digitally sign all email messages with attachments, active content, or which require either message integrity or non-repudiation verification. Email messages containing sensitive information shall be encrypted. Transmission of email (i.e. create, forward, reply, and reply all) that should be either signed or encrypted without applying digital signature or encryption is prohibited, regardless of technical limitations of the desktop or handheld device being used.
7. Additional capabilities will be released on NMCI Homeport at https://www.homeport.navy.mil/services/mobile/ and other NENs when available and within operational priorities.
