When you open a digitally signed message, a ribbon icon represents the verification status of the digital signature.
•Ribbon with a check mark: Your BlackBerry® device verified the digital signature.
•Ribbon with an X: Your device could not verify the digital signature.
•Ribbon with a question mark: Your device requires more data to verify the digital signature.
The icon after the ribbon icon represents the status of the sender’s PGP® key.
•Certificate with a check mark: The sender’s PGP key is trusted.
•X: The sender’s PGP key cannot be found on your device, is revoked, is not trusted, or cannot be verified, or the sender’s email address does not match the email address in the key.
•Question mark: Your device requires more data to verify the trust status, or it considers the key status to be stale.
•Clock: The sender’s PGP key has expired.

About message classifications
If your BlackBerry® device is integrated with an account that uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.1.2 or later and your system 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 system administrator configures the set of message classifications that you can use.
If you receive a message that uses message classifications, your can view the abbreviated classification in the subject line of the message and the full description of the classification in the body of the message. The abbreviated classification and description also appear in messages in your Sent Items folder.
