'Atomichelix OpenPGP for BlackBerry' is a full-featured BlackBerry program that allows the user to send and receive encrypted emails.
Some people ask "Why encrypt email?" The reason is simple: privacy. As it stands, getting access to an email message is very easy to do. Whether it's because of an email server being hacked, the email being intercepted, or even laws that allow governments to go through all electronic messages sent. You have a right to your privacy, but it's up to you to protect that right.
Even if you don't use Atomichelix OpenPGP for BlackBerry, please use something to maintain privacy for your email.
Here are some key features of "Atomichelix OpenPGP (BlackBerry)":
