Trusting a certificate means that you authorize it to verify web pages, e-mail servers,

software packages and other data. Only trusted certificates can be used to verify

services and 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.
