The security indicator

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 make digital signatures with your phone if your SIM card has a security
module. Using the digital signature can be the same as signing your name to a
paper bill, contract, or other document.

To make a digital signature, select a link on a page, such as the title of the book
you want to buy and its price. The text to sign, which may include the amount
and date, is 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, and then 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. Enter the signing PIN (see "Access
codes"
on page 17), and select

OK

. The digital signature icon disappears, and the

service may display a confirmation of your purchase.
