Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are

used to verify the origin of software.
In the certificate management main view, you can

see a list of authority certificates that are stored in

your device. Scroll right to see a list of personal

certificates, if available.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to

connect to an online bank or another site or remote

server for actions that involve transferring

confidential information. They should also be used

if you want to reduce the risk of viruses or other

malicious software and be sure of the authenticity

of software when downloading and installing

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.
Before changing any certificate settings, you must

make sure that you really trust the owner of the

certificate and that the certificate really belongs to

the listed owner.

View certificate details—check authenticity

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a

server when the signature and the period of validity

of a server certificate have been checked.
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,
