About certificates
A certificate is a digital document that binds the identity and public key of a certificate subject. If your email account uses a BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server that supports this feature, you can download certificates over the wireless network from a certificate authority profile that is
provided by your administrator. The certificate authority signs the certificate to verify that it can be trusted.
Depending on your organisation, enrolment for a certificate might be required and might also occur automatically.
