The security indicator 
 is displayed during a WAP connection, if the data 
transmission between the phone and the WAP gateway or WAP server 
(identified by the 
IP address
 in the 
Edit active service settings
) is encrypted.
However, the security indicator is not an indication that the data transmission 
between the gateway and the content server (place where the requested 
resource is saved) is secure. It is up to the service provider to secure the data 
transmission between the gateway and the content server.
• Authority certificates
For using some WAP services, such as banking services, and for checking the 
validity of other certificates, you need an authority certificate. You can 
download the certificate from a WAP site, if the WAP service supports the use 
of authority certificates. If you save the certificate, it is added to the certificate 
list in the phone. Authority certificates may also be available in the security 
module.
• User certificates
User certificates are issued to users by a Certifying Authority. User certificates 
are required, for example, to create a digital signature and they associate the 
user with a specific private key in a security module. User certificates are saved 
in the security module by the service provider, or you can download them to 
your phone from a WAP site, if supported by the security module of the SIM 
card.
