Process flow: Sending an email message using IBM Lotus Notes encryption


This diagram shows the elements that are described in the following process flow.

  1. A user indicates, using the menu in the messages application, that the BlackBerry® device must encrypt the email message.
  2. The BlackBerry device performs the following actions:
    1. prompts the user for the password for the IBM® Lotus Notes® .id file
    2. configures the email message for Lotus Notes encryption
    3. encrypts the email message using BlackBerry transport layer encryption
    4. sends the email message and password to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server
  3. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server decrypts the email message using BlackBerry transport layer encryption.
  4. The BlackBerry Messaging Agent on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server decrypts the cached password for the Lotus Notes .id file and validates the password that the BlackBerry device sent. If the BlackBerry Messaging Agent can verify the password, the BlackBerry Messaging Agent uses the password to encrypt the message using Lotus Notes encryption.
  5. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends the encrypted email message to the messaging server so that the messaging server can deliver it to the recipient.
