•Personal certificates or PGP keys (public and private key pairs)

•Certificates that you download using a certification authority profile or 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.
