- content protection
- Content protection helps protect user data on a locked BlackBerry device by encrypting the user data using the content protection key and ECC private key.
- CRL
- certificate revocation list
- DES
- Data Encryption Standard
- device transport key
- The device transport key (formerly known as the master encryption key) is unique to a BlackBerry device. The BlackBerry device and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server use the device transport key to encrypt the message keys.
- DHCP
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
- DMZ
- A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a neutral subnetwork outside of an organization's firewall. It exists between the trusted LAN of the organization and the untrusted external wireless network and public Internet.
- DNS
- A Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet database that translates domain names that are meaningful and recognizable by people into the numeric IP addresses that the Internet uses.
- DOM
- Document Object Model
- DSML
- Directory Service Markup Language
- DSML-enabled server

- gateway message envelope
- The gateway message envelope protocol is a Research In Motion proprietary protocol that allows the transfer of compressed and encrypted data between the wireless network and BlackBerry devices. The protocol defines a routing layer that specifies the types of message contents allowed and the addressing information for the data. Gateways and routing components use this information to identify the type and source of the BlackBerry device data, and the appropriate destination service to route the data to.

- IP address
- An Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identification number that each computer or mobile device uses when it sends or receives information over a network, such as the Internet. This identification number identifies the specific computer or mobile device on the network.
- IPPP

- IPsec
- Internet Protocol Security
- IT administration command
- An IT administration command is a command that you can send over the wireless network to protect sensitive information on a BlackBerry device or delete all BlackBerry device data.
- IT policy
- An IT policy consists of various IT policy rules that control the security features and behavior of BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets, the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, and the BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager.
- IT policy rule
- An IT policy rule permits you to customize and control the actions that BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets, the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, and the BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager can perform.
