About certificates

A certificate is a digital document that binds the identity and public key of a certificate subject. If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can download certificates over the wireless network from a certificate authority profile that is provided by your administrator. The certificate authority signs the certificate to verify that it can be trusted.

Depending on your organization, enrollment for a certificate might be required and might also occur automatically.
