Extending email security using 

PGP

For devices that are running 

BlackBerry 10 OS

 version 10.3.1 and later, you can extend email security for device users by enabling 

PGP

. 

PGP

 protects email messages on devices using OpenPGP format. Users can sign, encrypt, or sign and encrypt email messages using 

PGP

 protection when they use a work email address. 

PGP

 cannot be enabled for personal email addresses.

You enable 

PGP

 for users in an email profile. You can force 

BlackBerry 10

 device users to use 

PGP

, disallow the use of 

PGP

, or make it optional. When 

PGP

 use is optional (the default setting), a user can enable 

PGP

 on the device and specify whether to encrypt, sign, or encrypt and sign email messages.

To sign and encrypt email messages, users must store 

PGP

 keys for each recipient on their devices. Users can store 

PGP

 keys by importing the files from a work email message.

You can configure 

PGP

 using the appropriate email profile settings.
