About the key store

The key store on your BlackBerry® device stores the following items:

Personal PGP® keys (public and private key pairs)

PGP public keys downloaded from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server

PGP public keys imported from a message

Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) certificates downloaded from an LDAP server

S/MIME certificates imported from a message

The key store is protected by a key store password. Your device might prompt you to set the key store password the first time that you open the key store. You might need to type this password when adding items to or deleting items from the key store, or when an application tries to access your private key to sign or decrypt a message.
