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.
To change the trust settings, select a certificate and
