Hi Christian,
Martin, if I understood your answer to Marco correctly
(dated Jun 9th), the main advantage of your app over the native BB S/MIME functionality is
that you only use one certificate on the device to encrypt messages between the handheld
and the Djigzo gateway, when a standard usage of S/MIME would require to store each
recipient's certificate on the device ? Did I get you right ?
Yes that's correct. The certificate on the BlackBerry is used for the
encrypted and signed S/MIME tunnel between the BlackBerry and the
gateway. When an email sent with Djigzo for BlackBerry is received by
the Djigzo gateway, and the user is allowed to relay, the gateway will
then forward the message to the final recipient. Whether the forwarded
message is again encrypted (with S/MIME or PDF) is up to the Digzo
gateway settings. The main advantage of this setup is that all
certificate management can be done on the gateway.
Kind regards,
Martijn
