About encryption keys
If your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or BlackBerry® Desktop Redirector,
your device is designed to use an encryption key to protect data as it travels between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Desktop
Redirector and your device.
You should generate a new encryption key every 2 weeks.
Generate an encryption key
You can perform this task if your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports
this feature. For more information, contact your administrator. If your device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry Enterprise
Server that does not support this feature, you can generate an encryption key using the email settings tool of the BlackBerry® Desktop
Manager. For more information, see the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help.
