In the Certificate management main view, you can see a list of authority certificates that

Glossary: Digital
certificates are used to
verify the origin of the
XHTML or WML pages and
installed software.
However, they can only be
trusted if the origin of the
certificate is known to be
authentic.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect to an online bank or another site
or remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential information, or want to
reduce the risk of viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the authenticity of
software when downloading and installing software.
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.
Viewing certificate details - checking authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a WAP gateway or a server when the
signature and the period of validity of a gateway or server certificate have been checked.
You will be notified on the game deck’s display: if the identity of the server or gateway is
not authentic or if you do not have the correct security certificate in your game deck.
Options in the certificate
management main view:
Certificate details,
Delete, Trust settings,
Mark/Unmark, Help, and
Exit.
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate and select Options→ Certificate details.
When you open certificate details, Certificate management checks the validity of the
certificate and one of the following notes may appear:
• Certificate not trusted - You have not set any application to use the certificate. See
the next section ‘Changing the trust settings of an authority certificate’.
• Expired certificate - The period of validity has ended for the selected certificate.
• Certificate not valid yet - The period of validity has not yet begun for the selected
certificate.
