Features Of PGP Support Package For Blackberry Sets

In order to ensure privacy and security, Blackberry sets use a package called Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). The main function of this package is simply encryption and decryption of the mails sent between the sender and the receiver. Thus, no third party is able to hack the data that has been sent from sender to receiver.

In reality, PGP makes use of a key system to function efficiently and effectively. The key system consists of two keys, namely Public Key and Private Key. The public key is used during the encryption phase and the private key is used during the decryption phase.

Since this package does both the parts, i.e. encryption and decryption, people think that it is a time consuming process.  However, actually PGP relies on a fast algorithm which, of course works very fast.
