S/MIME and PGP protected messagesS/MIME and PGP protected message basicsAbout signing and encrypting messagesIf your email account uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email and PIN messages that you send from your BlackBerry smartphone. Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send. When you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and that the message hasn't been changed.Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your smartphone uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list. Your smartphone uses the email address in your contact list to locate a PGP key or certificate for the contact.Sign or encrypt a messageYou can sign or encrypt email and PIN messages.1. When you are composing a message, change the Encoding field.2. If necessary, change the Classification field.Related informationSome signing and encryption options aren't available on my smartphone, 0Encrypt an S/MIME or a PGP protected message with a passphraseBy default, your BlackBerry smartphone uses your certificate or PGP key to encrypt messages.1.

Bluetooth technologyHow to: Bluetooth technologyAbout BluetoothBluetooth technology is designed to establish a wireless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a hands-free car kit or a wireless headset.Before you can connect your BlackBerry smartphone to a Bluetooth enabled device, you must first turn on Bluetooth technology on both devices and then pair the devices. Pairing establishes a relationship between the devices and usually needs to be done only once.After you pair the devices, you can connect the devices when the Bluetooth enabled device is within range of your BlackBerry smartphone (a typical range is approximately 10 meters). For best results, keep your BlackBerry smartphone within direct line of sight of the Bluetooth enabled device. For example, if your BlackBerry smartphone is on the right side of your body, wear a Bluetooth enabled headset in your right ear.When you turn on Bluetooth technology or when you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to another Bluetooth enabled device, Bluetooth status indicators appear at the top of the Home screen.Turn on or turn off Bluetooth technologyIf you try to perform an action using Bluetooth technology, you may be prompted to turn on Bluetooth technology.On the home screen, click the connections area at the top of the screen, or click the Manage Connections icon.• To turn on Bluetooth technology, select the Bluetooth checkbox.• To turn off Bluetooth technology, clear the Bluetooth checkbox.Pair with a Bluetooth enabled deviceYou must pair your BlackBerry smartphone with a Bluetooth enabled device before you can connect to it.

You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the key store on your BlackBerry smartphone, but you can't import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing and decryption use the smart card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on your smartphone.If you use a smart card certificate to authenticate with your smartphone, after you connect your smart card reader to your smartphone, your smartphone requests authentication from the smart card each time that you unlock your smartphone.You can install multiple smart card drivers on your smartphone, including drivers for microSD smart cards, but you can only authenticate to one smart card at a time. If you are authenticating using a microSD smart card and you want to transfer media files between your microSD smart card and your computer, you must temporarily turn off two-factor authentication or select a different authentication option.If the S/MIME Support Package for BlackBerry smartphones is installed on your smartphone, you can use smart card certificates to send S/MIME-protected messages.Turn on two-factor authenticationTo perform this task, you must set a password for your BlackBerry smartphone and have the smart card password that you received with your smart card.1.
