certificate
A BlackBerry smartphone uses a certificate as a digital document that binds the identity and public key of a 
certificate subject. Each certificate has a corresponding private key that is stored separately. A certification 
authority signs the certificate to indicate that it is authentic and can be trusted. This may also be called a digital 
certificate.
certification authority
A certification authority (CA) is a trusted third-party organization that verifies the information or identity of 
computers on a network and issues digital certificates.
CRL server
A BlackBerry smartphone uses a certificate revocation list (CRL) server to check the most recently published  revocation status of a certificate. Certification authorities publish certificate revocation lists on CRL servers.
DSML-enabled server
A BlackBerry smartphone uses a Directory Service Markup Language (DSML) enabled server to search for  and download certificates.
IT policy
An IT policy consists of various IT policy rules that control the security features and behavior of BlackBerry 
smartphones, BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, the BlackBerry Desktop Software, and the BlackBerry Web Desktop  Manager.
