Wi-Fi Minimal EAP-TLS Certificate Encryption Key Security Level configuration setting

Description

This setting specifies the minimum security level for a private key that an EAP authentication method uses with a client certificate.

If you configure this setting to Medium security, a BlackBerry device prompts a BlackBerry device user only once for the key store password so that the device can retrieve the private key and encrypt email messages. After the device retrieves the private key, the device retrieves the private key again only after the user resets the device. The device caches the private key in memory but does not store it with the Wi-Fi profile.

If you configure this setting to High security, the device always prompts the user for the key store password when it accesses the private key and encrypts email messages. The device does not store the unencrypted private key with the Wi-Fi profile.

If you configure this setting to Low security, the device prompts the user only once for the key store password so that the device can retrieve the private key and encrypt email messages. The device stores the unencrypted private key with the Wi-Fi profile.
