1. A method of regulating population of a certificate store in a memory of a device, the method comprising:
- determining that a device administration server is present;
determining that an information technology policy is disabled; and
responsive to the determining that a device administration server is present and that an information technology policy is disabled, disabling user interface interaction on the device for importing trusted Certificate Authority certificates into a certificate store associated with a portion of memory of the device.

Abstract
Plural modes of operation may be established on a mobile device. Specific modes of operation of the mobile device may be associated with specific spaces in memory. By associating the existing certificate store structure and key store structure with a mode of operation, certificates and keys can be assigned to one space among plural spaces. Furthermore, management (viewing/importation/deletion) of certificates associated with specific modes of operation may be controlled based on the presence or absence of a mobile device administration server and the status (enabled/disabled) of an IT policy.
