Administration Guide Configuring security options Enforcing secure messaging using classifications You can use message classifications to require S/MIME-enabled users or PGP enabled users to sign, encrypt, or sign and encrypt email messages that they send from the BlackBerry devices. You use the Message Classification IT policy rule to configure one or more message classifications that users can apply to email messages. The message classification that the users select when they compose email messages determines the type of S/MIME message protection or PGP message protection that applies to the email messages. If a user does not select a message classification, by default, the BlackBerry device applies the first classification in the message classification list on the BlackBerry device. You can change the order that the BlackBerry device lists the classifications in. The message protection options on the BlackBerry device are limited to the types of encryption and digitial signing that the highly secure messaging packages on the BlackBerry device permit. When a user applies a message classification to an email message on a BlackBerry device, the user must select one type of message protection that the message classification permits, or accept the default type of message protection. If a user selects a message classification that requires signing, encryption, or signing and encryption of the email message, and the user did not install a highly secure messaging package on the BlackBerry device, the user cannot send the email message.
