Certicom: BlackBerry's Wild Card

Feb. 1, 2018 4:44 AM ET

Summary
Certicom is the world-leading expert in encryption security, thanks to its legacy as a pioneer in Elliptical Curve Cryptography.

BlackBerry bought Certicom in 2009, beating Verisign’s offer (now Symantec).

ECC is widely recognized as the most secure cryptography standard, used, for example, to encrypt Bitcoin’s addresses.

Certicom is by far the leader in ECC implementations, with its monopoly over dozens patented ecryption protocols.

This leadership gives BlackBerry a competitive advantage for its auto business (for which secure encryption is paramount) and a great opportunity, due to the rapid expansion of Certicom's total potential markets.
