Digital signature

You can make digital signatures with your phone if your SIM card has a security
module. The signature can be traced back to you through the private key on the
security module and the user certificate that was used to perform the signature.
Using the digital signature can be the same as signing your name to a paper bill,
contract, or other document.

to buy and its price.

The text to sign (possibly including amount, date, etc.) is shown.

Check that the header text is Read and that the digital signature icon

is

shown.

If the digital signature icon does not appear, there is a security breach. Do not

Select the user certificate you want to use, enter the signing PIN (provided

Cache memory

The information or services you access with the browser are temporarily saved in the

temporarily.

passwords (for example, your bank account), clear the cache after each use.
