Key store
About the key store
The key store on your BlackBerry smartphone might store the following items:
•Personal certificates or PGP keys (public and private key pairs)
•Certificates that you download using a certification authority profile or the BlackBerry Desktop Software
•Root certificates that are included in the BlackBerry Desktop Software
•Certificates that you download from an LDAP-enabled server or DSML-enabled server
•PGP public keys that you download from an LDAP-enabled server
•Certificates or PGP public keys that you import from your smartphone or a media card
•Certificates or PGP public keys that you add from a message
To access items in the key store, you must enter a key store password. If you exceed the number of allowed password 
attempts, all your smartphone data is deleted.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you  update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if 
your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.

Smart cards
About using a smart card with your smartphone
Smart cards store certificates and private keys. 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.

							About smart password entry
If you use advanced authentication and your BlackBerry smartphone password or smart card password is numeric, you 
might be able to use smart password entry in some password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your 
smartphone is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type the 
password again, your smartphone applies a smart password filter to the password field. 
If the password is numeric, a 123 
indicator appears beside the password field and you do not have to press the 
 key to type numbers. If the password 
is alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.
To use smart password entry, advanced authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart  card reader must be installed on your smartphone.

							Third-party application control
About permissions and trust status for third-party applications
You or your administrator can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry smartphone 
interact with the other applications on your smartphone. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can  access data or the Internet, make calls, or track your location. Some applications require specific permissions to work.
If you have added a third-party application to your smartphone, your smartphone is designed to prevent the application 
from sending or receiving data without your knowledge. The first time that you open a third-party application, you might be 
prompted to trust the application or to set permissions for it. If you trust the application, your smartphone sets most 
permissions for the application to Allow. You can change the permissions for a specific application or all applications in the 
smartphone options.
