Browser security

Security features may be required for some services, such as online banking or shopping. For such connections you need security

certificates and possibly a security module, which may be available on your SIM card. For more information, contact your service

provider.

Security module

The security module improves security services for applications requiring a browser connection and allows you to use a digital

signature. The security module may contain certificates as well as private and public keys. The certificates are saved in the

security module by the service provider.
To view or change the security module settings, select

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

the service provider.
To view the list of the authority or user certificates downloaded to your phone, select

is displayed during a connection if the data transmission between the phone and the content server is encrypted.

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.
