Security information

Security information is displayed when

Certificate manager

cannot be sure of the origin of the page or software. For
example, security information will be displayed if:

• The certificate on a page has expired.
• The identity of a software manufacturer cannot be verified.

Security information is also displayed when a certificate on your
P910a has:

• Expired.
• Been revoked by the independent organization that issued it.

Adding and deleting certificates

Your P910a handles certificates automatically so, most of the
time, you can browse the Internet securely without using

Certificate manager

. If you do need to add or delete a certificate,

you will usually be informed by your network operator or
system administrator. You should delete a certificate from

Certificate manager

if you are informed, or suspect, that:

• The certificate does not belong to the person who supplied it.
• The certificate was issued incorrectly by the independent

organization that created it.

Type of certificate

The type can be either

User

or

Certificate Authority

.

User

certificates contain your identity. This type of certificate

is used when the server asks for client authentication. The
client application requests you to identify yourself by
choosing a user certificate.

Certificate Authority

certificates contain server details. This

type of certificate is handled by your P910a when the server
only requires server authentication. This means that your
identity remains anonymous.

Flip settings

- Specify the keyboard your P910a has on the

Stick that you install in your P910a. Your P910a comes with one
Memory Stick.
