Administration Guide Generating organization-specific encryption keys for PIN-message encryption Generating organization-specific encryption keys for PINmessage encryption By default, all BlackBerry® devices store a common PIN encryption key that they use to protect PIN messages. To limit the number of devices that can decrypt PIN messages that BlackBerry device users in your organization send from their devices, you can generate a new PIN encryption key that is stored on and known only to devices in your organization. A device that has a PIN encryption key that is specific to your organization can perform the following actions: • can only encrypt PIN messages sent to other devices on your organization's network that use the same PIN encryption key • can only decrypt PIN messages that are sent from devices that use the global PIN encryption key or PIN messages from other devices on your organization's network that use the same PIN encryption key • cannot decrypt PIN messages sent from devices that use a PIN encryption key from another organization You should generate a new PIN encryption key if you know that your current organization-specific PIN encryption key is compromised. Generate a PIN encryption key You can generate a PIN encryption key to make the BlackBerry® devices in your organization use a PIN encryption key that is specific to your organization for PIN messaging. 1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology. 2. Click BlackBerry Domain. 3. Click Update peer-to-peer encryption key. 4. Click Create new key. Turn off BlackBerry services that the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, BlackBerry Collaboration Service, and BlackBerry MVS provide You can prevent BlackBerry® device users that you associate with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server from browsing the intranet or Internet, running applications that communicate with application servers and content servers, sending or receiving instant messages, or making calls using VoIP.

Generating organization-specific encryption keys for PIN-
message encryption
By default, all BlackBerry® devices store a common PIN encryption key that they use to protect PIN messages. To
limit the number of devices that can decrypt PIN messages that BlackBerry device users in your organization send
from their devices, you can generate a new PIN encryption key that is stored on and known only to devices in your
organization. A device that has a PIN encryption key that is specific to your organization can perform the following
actions:
can only encrypt PIN messages sent to other devices on your organization's network that use the same PIN
encryption key
can only decrypt PIN messages that are sent from devices that use the global PIN encryption key or PIN messages
from other devices on your organization's network that use the same PIN encryption key
cannot decrypt PIN messages sent from devices that use a PIN encryption key from another organization
You should generate a new PIN encryption key if you know that your current organization-specific PIN encryption
key is compromised.
Generate a PIN encryption key
You can generate a PIN encryption key to make the BlackBerry® devices in your organization use a PIN encryption
key that is specific to your organization for PIN messaging.
