Configuring PSK encryption

The IEEE 802.1X™ standard specifies PSK encryption as an access control method for enterprise Wi-Fi networks. You can use PSK encryption in small office and home environments where it is not feasible to configure server-based authentication.

To configure PSK encryption, you must distribute a passphrase to Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices that matches the key or passphrase for the wireless access points. You must distribute the passphrase using the Wi-Fi profiles that you assign to user accounts. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends the passphrase when users activate the BlackBerry devices.

For more information about how the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution supports PSK encryption, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Security Technical Overview.
