Certificates
Important: Note that even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in
remote connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be
used correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a
certificate does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must
contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be
available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If Expired certificate or Certificate
not valid yet is shown even if the certificate should be valid, check that the current
date and time in your device are correct.
Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust the owner
of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.
There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and
user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider.
Authority certificates and user certificates may also be saved in the security
module by the service provider.
To view the list of the authority or user certificates downloaded into your phone,
select Menu > Web > Settings > Security settings > Authority certificates or User
certificates.
The security indicator is displayed during a connection, if the data
transmission between the phone and the content server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. The service
provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
