You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the key storeon your BlackBerry® device, but you cannot import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing and decryption usethe smart card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on your device.If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate to your device, after you connect your smart card reader to your device, your devicerequests authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your device.If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry® devices is installed on your device, you can use smart card certificates to send S/MIME-protected messages.About two-factor authenticationTwo-factor authentication, which requires an item that you have (for example, a smart card) and an item that you know (for example, apass phrase), is designed to provide additional security for your BlackBerry® device. You can use a smart card for two-factor authenticationwhen you log in to your device, or you can use a software token for two-factor authentication when you log in to a VPN, connect to a Wi-Fi® network, or use your device with RSA® software as a hardware token.If you use two-factor authentication, you must type your pass phrase when you• unlock your device• change a general security option on your device• change a smart card option• use your device with RSA softwareHelp Smart cards248
