Sending IBM® Domino® encrypted messages can be performed from a BlackBerry 10 device activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10.0 or higher. This functionality is implemented using an encryption and decryption strategy that requires server-side access to the user Notes ID file. The ID file contains the private and public keys necessary to digitally sign, encrypt, and decrypt mail messages. Receiving and reading encrypted and signed mail can be performed on a BlackBerry 10 device without being activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
For digital signing, encrypting, or decrypting to work, the Notes ID file must be uploaded to the mail file or a Domino ID vault. See "Upload my Notes ID file" in the table provided in this article.
Minimum Requirements
- IBM Traveler Server 9.0.0.1 IF1 or higher.
- BlackBerry 10 device with OS version 10.2 or higher.
- User's Notes ID must be accessible to Traveler Server
- BlackBerry 10 device must be activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10.0 or higher for sending encrypted messages.
Important:
- Only Domino-encrypted mail is supported. Encrypted calendar, to-do, and notebook entries are not supported. SMIME encryption is unavailable.
- Use either a secure socket layer (SSL) connection or a virtual private network (VPN) solution when encryption is enabled on the IBM Notes Traveler server.
- Domino encrypted mail is referred to Notes Native Encryption (NNE) on a BlackBerry 10 device.
