Encryption
About encrypting data and files on your smartphone
When encryption for data on your BlackBerry smartphone is turned on, your smartphone uses a private key to encrypt data
stored on your smartphone, including data that your smartphone receives when it's locked. When you lock your
smartphone with a password, a lock indicator appears at the top of the screen when your smartphone has secured your
data. You can also encrypt the files on your media card using your smartphone password, an encryption key that your
smartphone generates, or both. Your smartphone decrypts data as you access it.
