gonna test it today if i can get time. it is a shame if it is like you say. i was hoping to use it to decrypt mail sent from anywhere not only bb 10 devices.

My experience so far is that it will not work outside of BlackBerry 10 environment.
This been said, I could make it work with BES or Microsoft server.

Hi
I used Openkeychain to create key(s) on my Z30. How do I get my private send public key from Openkeychain into my OS. Do I just backup my key(s) from Openkeychain and then point my OS to that file?

In Openkeychain, which keys are my private and public keys?

Not making excuses for BlackBerry, but I wanted to let you guys know that there is a solution for encryption that doesn't require BES or accessing your mail through an Android app, as long as you have some control over your server.
Zixmail is available as a hosted solution or can be installed on your own server, and will encrypt/decrypt right on the email server. You can configure it so that it will encrypt an outgoing mail based on a keyword in the subject line of the email.
I use Google Apps for mail processing, and run outgoing mail through the Zix gateway for encryption as needed. If you encrypt to someone who doesn't use Zix, they can decrypt the email through a https site. Incoming encrypted messages are automatically decrypted by the server.
This is possible through a number of email providers (Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc) or on your own server if you have one.
I can see that everyone on this thread seems to understand encryption way better than me, but still it strikes me as a "pretty good" solution that must be easy to implement if even I can do it.

http://www.strongpgp.com/Contact me I have setup and proper knowledge to setup everything. It looks to me that Blackberry devices cant decrypt message because of some sort of bug or missing setup , because when I open same message with Thunderbird + PGP , Thunderbird decrypts fine.
Bump? Any news on PGP integration for ALL users? The whatsapp development and the generel privacy development and PGP usage/request must put blackberry in some kind of pressure to make this a normal feature, also for non BES users, since BES is a pain in the **** to license when its for privat use and not company.
Any news on this matter?
BES is not really a pain in the bum, it's rather expensive nonetheless.
integrating PGP for everyone would be a nice addition for the next maintenance release in March.

Blackberry forgot that not all BB users are in a corporate environment, it should be an "accessible way" to use this option.
Sadly this will be my last BB device, even Iphone and Android have S/mime mail clients.
It still wont work on my PP :(
Keys manually imported onto the smartphone using device options Settings\System Settings\Security and Privacy\PGP Keys do not take presidence over the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12 PGP key distribution and as such, key(s) obtained from the Symantec Encryption Management server will be the ones utilized.
My guess is the symantec PGP keys have some sort of identifier in order for the handset to identify it as taking precedence, or using bes to push the PGP key to the handset. I've tried the open Keychain method and in the PGP drop down list it says 'my keys' which stays unpopulated. Also key server requests via os are only tooled to pull from symantec key servers, which requires a ssl cert to be pushed to the handset. Imo it would be a small change for bb to implement PGP for all, be it containing a release of responsibility for RIM pertaining to communicating with unsecured non ssl key servers. Sadly as pointed out it is a selling option, I havnt tried KEYone yet, can anyone confirm how PGP works on it? I'm assuming k9 and openkeychain work great but I'd much rather prefer baked in PGP support with security measures. My 2 cents, have a good one my fellow berryites.
The hub has PGP and SMIME and its effective. Facebook now lets you distribute a key so there is a nice easy way to get your keys out there.

what kind of encryprtion?

So as far as I understand there is still no chance to use PGP without BES connection, so only available for enterprise users?

I have S/MIME on my Passport with an exchange account and it works fine (without BES), also on my BlackBerry Priv.
S/MIME also works with Outlook.com accounts.

wouldnt that defeat the whole point? of course they want your keys.

You don't know how public key cryptography works, do you.
not really...i've attempted it a few times over the years but gave up

Everyone has two keys, the public one and the private one. You keep the private one hidden and hand out the public key to anyone you want to talk with securely, Facebook in this case. If you set PGP on Facebook up, Facebook encrypts all of their emails to you with your public key, such that the only person who can decrypt the email text and read its contents is whoever holds the corresponding private key (i.e. you). Private keys never change hands, while public keys (what Facebook gets) are meant to be shared.
i get that part, but why would you be emailing with facebook?
also, how do i send a secure email to a far away recipient? oh wait...i remember. they send me their public key

It's for when Facebook emails you, i.e. notification emails.
