About content protection
Content protection is designed to encrypt your BlackBerry® device data. When content protection is turned on, your device uses a private key
to encrypt data as it is stored on the device, including data that your device receives when it is locked. Your device decrypts data as you access
it.
You can set content protection to include or exclude your contacts. If you turn on content protection for contacts and you receive a call when
your device is locked, the caller name does not appear on the screen.
If you use a smart card certificate for authentication, depending on the smart card you might also be able to use your smart card certificate to
provide two-factor content protection. In order to access the encrypted content, you must provide your device password and also connect your
device to your smart card reader.
When you lock your device, an open lock indicator appears in the device status section of the screen to indicate that your device is deleting a
copy of the private key from the temporary device memory. A lock indicator appears when the device has deleted the key.
