A PGP key can be explicitly trusted (the PGP key itself is trusted), implicitly trusted (the PGP key is associated with a private key on your BlackBerry® device), or not trusted (the PGP key is not explicitly trusted and is not associated with a trusted PGP key on your device, and a chain of digital signatures to a trusted key does not exist).

Creation Date:

This field displays the date that the PGP® Universal Server generated the PGP key.

Expiration Date:

This field displays the date that the PGP Universal Server specified as the expiration date of the PGP key.

Email Address:

This field displays the email address that is associated with the PGP key. Multiple Email Address fields might appear.

Key Usage:

This field displays approved uses of the PGP key.

Fingerprint:

This field displays the PGP key fingerprint in hexadecimal format.
