and be sure of the authenticity of software when
downloading and installing software.
Important: 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.
View certificate details—check authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server
when the signature and the validity period of a server
certificate have been checked.
You are notified if the identity of the server is not
authentic or if you do not have the correct security
certificate in your device.
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and
select Options > Certificate details. The validity of
the certificate is checked, and one of the following
notes may be displayed:
● Certificate not trusted — You have not set any
application to use the certificate.
● Expired certificate — The certificate validity
period has ended.
● Certificate not valid yet — The certificate validity
period has not yet begun.
● Certificate corrupted — The certificate cannot be
used. Contact the certificate issuer.
Change the trust settings
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.
Scroll to an authority certificate, and select Options >
Trust settings. Depending on the certificate, a list of
the applications that can use the selected certificate is
shown. For example:
● Symbian installation: Yes — The certificate is able
to certify the origin of a new Symbian operating
system application.
● Internet: Yes — The certificate is able to certify
servers.
● App. installation: Yes — The certificate is able to
certify the origin of a new Java™ application.
