About encryption icons
When you open an encrypted message, a lock icon
represents the encryption status. Your system
administrator sets an IT Policy that determines
whether the encryption algorithm that the message
uses is considered to be strong or weak.
• Lock: The message is strongly encrypted.
• Lock with a question mark: The message is
weakly encrypted.

About signature icons
When you open a digitally signed message, a ribbon
icon represents the verification status of the digital
signature.
• Ribbon with a check mark: Your BlackBerry®
device verified the digital signature.

the certificate chain for the sender's certificate.

chain is trusted.

your device, is revoked, is not trusted, or cannot be
verified, or that the sender's email address does
not match the certificate subject email address in

verify the trust status, the certificate is weak, or
the certificate status is considered to be stale.

About message classifications
If your BlackBerry® device is integrated with an
account that uses BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Version 4.1.2 or later and your system administrator
turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of security
actions to each message that you compose, forward, or
reply to, based on the classification that you assign to
the message. Your system administrator configures
the set of message classifications that you can use.
If you receive a message that uses message
classifications, your can view the abbreviated
classification in the subject line of the message and
the full description of the classification in the body of
the message. The abbreviated classification and
description also appear in messages in your Sent
Items folder.
