Add PGP Encryption To Emails With PGP Blackberry 10

One of the topics many BlackBerry users worry about is security especially when sending emails. While there are various encryption methods available, one of the most popular is PGP, which is also known as Pretty Good Privacy, to encrypt and decrypt email over the Internet. This way the email security messages you send are inaccessible or unreadable to other individuals or intruders.


PGP BlackBerry 10 allows you to exchange encrypted messages with your recipients or decrypt messages sent to you. In order to make it functional, you will need to create and store your keys (public and private) and own the public key of the recipient. Don't worry, as these keys cannot be accessed by other applications.


What sets this apart from other encryption techniques is that you can import the private key given by other systems on your computer or a similar program. Otherwise, to generate your keys you can navigate to “My Keys,” and create a new one on your PGP BlackBerry 10 device. In order to do so, you will require to input your name, valid email address (one you will be using to send/receive), password, and select the strength of the key from the drop down 2048 bit. Once this is done, the private key can be exported to a file by choosing the export option and the public key can be shared with your phone contacts. You can create a key for each of the accounts on your phone that you wish to send messages from.
