Certificates

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.
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 your service provider.
To view the list of the authority or user certificates

downloaded to your phone, select Menu > Settings >

Security > Authority certificates or User

certificates.
During a connection if the data transmission between
the phone and the content server is encrypted,

is

displayed.

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.

Digital signature

You can create digital signatures with your phone if

your SIM card has a security module. The digital

signature is the same as signing your name to a paper

bill, contract, or other document.
To create a digital signature, select a link on a page, for

example, the title of the book you want to buy and its

price. The text to be signed is shown and may include

the amount and date.
Check that the header text is Read and that the digital

signature icon

is shown. If the digital signature

icon does not appear, there is a security breach; do not

enter any personal data (such as your signing PIN).
To sign the text, read all of the text first, and select

Sign. The text may not fit within a single screen.

Therefore, make sure to scroll through and read all of

the text before signing.
Select the user certificate you want to use, and enter

the signing PIN. The digital signature icon disappears,

and the service may display a confirmation of your

purchase.
