open and manage email messages for that email account, and you can send messages using the email address for the email account. For more
information about associating your device with more than one email account, see the BlackBerry Internet Service Online Help.

S/MIME-protected message basics
About signing and encrypting messages
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email messages 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 classifications
If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature 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.

PGP protected messages
PGP protected message basics
About signing and encrypting messages
You can digitally sign or encrypt messages to add another level of security to email messages 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.
Sign or encrypt a message
You can sign or encrypt email messages and PIN messages.
1.When composing a message, change the Encoding field.
2. If necessary, change the Classification field.
