In the Certificate management main view, you can see a list of authority certificates that 
have been stored in your phone. Press 
 to see a list of personal certificates, if available.
Authority certificates are used by some browser services, such as banking services, for 
checking signatures or server certificates or other authority certificates.
Server certificates are used to improve security in the connection between the phone and 
the gateway. The phone receives the server certificate from the service provider before the 
connection is established and its validity is checked using the authority certificates saved 
in the phone. Server certificates are not saved.
Server certificates may be needed when you, for example:
• want to connect to an online bank or another site or remote server for actions that 
involve transferring confidential information, or
• want to decrease the risk of viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the 
authenticity of software when downloading and installing software.
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.
