Certificate management

Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used
to verify the origin of software.

Glossary: Digital certificates are used to verify the
origin of the XHTML or WML pages and installed
software. However, they can only be trusted if the
origin of the certificate is known to be authentic.

In the certificate management main view, you can see a
list of authority certificates that are stored in your phone.

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

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.

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 on the phone display if the identity of the
server is not authentic or if you do not have the correct
security certificate in your phone.
