Digital signatures
You can create digital signatures with your phone. The signature can be traced back to you by the private key in the security
module and the user certificate that was used to perform the signature. Using the digital signature is similar to 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 a book that you want to buy and its price. The
text to sign (including, for example, the amount and date) will be shown.
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, and you should not enter any personal data such as
your signing PIN.
To sign the text, read all of the text first, then select Sign .
Note that the text may not fit on a single screen. Therefore, make sure to scroll through and read all of the text before
signing.
Select the user certificate that you want to use. Key in the signing PIN, and press OK . The digital signature icon disappears,
and the service may display a confirmation of your purchase.
