About PGP keys
A PGP® key might contain several cryptographic keys,
including a parent key to verify signatures and one or
more subkeys to encrypt messages. PGP keys are
generated in pairs, with a public key and a private key.
PGP key information fields
A PGP public key binds the identity and the public
cryptographic information of the PGP public key user.
A PGP public key is required to verify and encrypt
messages. PGP public keys are shared and are
accessible by both message senders and recipients.
Set a PGP key to not trusted
Send a PGP key to a contact
Set options for checking the status of a PGP key
A PGP private key is required to sign and decrypt
messages. Private key information is never publicly
available.
Use the common name when adding a PGP key to the
key store
You can generate a PGP key using the PGP Universal™
Server or PGP Desktop client. If you generate the PGP
key using the PGP Universal Server, the PGP Universal
Server signs the key to verify that the key is trusted.
Revoke a PGP key
Revocation reasons
A PGP key might also contain an X.509 certificate,
which is used to verify and encrypt Secure

messages. If you use the PGP Universal Server and you
have installed the S/MIME Support Package for
BlackBerry devices, you can use these certificates to
send and receive S/MIME messages through the PGP
Universal Server. Certificates that you obtain from
PGP keys are stored in the key store and appear in the
Certificates screen.

About digital signatures and
encryption
You can digitally sign a message to help the recipient
verify the authenticity and integrity of the message.
When you digitally sign a message using your private
key, the recipient uses your public key to verify that
you sent the message and not someone who was
pretending to be you, and that no one changed the
message before it arrived.
