Certificates
Important: Note that 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.
There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority 
certificates, and user certificates. You may receive these certificates from 
your service provider. Authority certificates and user certificates may also 
be saved in the security module by the service provider.
To view the list of the authority or user certificates downloaded into your 
phone, select

The security indicator 
 is displayed during a connection, if the data 
transmission between the phone and the content server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the 
gateway and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is 
secure. The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway 
and the content server.
