Smart cards
About using a smart card with your smartphone
Smart cards store certificates and private keys. You can use a smart card reader to import certificates from a smart card to the
key store on your BlackBerry® smartphone, but you can't import private keys. As a result, private key operations such as signing
and decryption use the smart card, and public key operations such as verification and encryption use the public certificates on
your smartphone.
