• SECURITY MODULE
The security module provides security services for WAP related
applications, and allows the use of the phones digital signature
functionality. If present, the security module is in the SIM card as an
optional service of your service provider. The security module helps to
determine whether the card content has not been maliciously read or
modified. It can contain certificates, as well as private and public keys to
operate the certificates. The certificates are stored in the security module
by SIM card issuer or service provider.
Digital signature
With the digital signature functionality you can, for example, digitally
sign a bill or a financial contract. The signature can be traced back to you
via the private key and the associated certificate that was used to perform
the signature, so signing using the digital signature is the same as signing
your name to a paper bill, contract or other document.
A digital signature is initiated by a code embedded in a WAP page. Select
a link, for example, the title of the book you want to buy and its price. The
digital signature procedure starts and shows the text to sign. At this point

Note:
The text may not fit within a single screen. Therefore, make
sure to scroll through and read all of the text before signing.
