S/MIME-protected messages S/MIME-protected message basics About signing and encrypting messages
If 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 device. 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 has not been
changed.
Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device 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 device uses the email address in your contact list to locate a PGP® key or certificate for the contact.

About message classificationsIf your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports thisfeature and your administrator turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of
security actions to each message that you compose, forward, or reply to, based on the classification that you assign to the
message. Your administrator specifies the message classifications that you can use.
If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject line of the message and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation
and full description for the classification for a sent message in the sent items folder.
Change the default message classification
To perform this task, your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your
administrator must turn on message classifications.
Your BlackBerry device is designed to use the default message classification when you send a message to a contact that you
have not sent a message to or received a message from previously. If you have sent a message to or received a message from
the contact previously, your device tries to use the message classification that was used for the last message.
