About smart cards
Certificates and private keys are stored on smart cards.
Certificates can be imported to your BlackBerry®
device key store, but private keys can only be stored
on smart cards. As a result, private key operations such
as signing and decryption are enabled on the smart
card, and public key operations such as verification
and encryption are enabled on the device using public
certificates.
You can download certificates from the smart card to
the your device using a smart card reader, set your
user authenticator passwords, and send S/MIME
messages with your smart card certificates.
