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

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,
