have tried to access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords
(for example, your bank account), empty the cache of your phone after each use.

Security indicator
If the security indicator
is displayed during a WAP connection, the data
transmission between the phone and the WAP gateway or WAP server (identified
by the
IP address
setting in the
Edit active service settings
menu) is encrypted.
However, the security indicator does not indicate that the data transmission
between the gateway and the content server (the location where the requested
resource is stored) is secure. It is up to the service provider to secure the data
transmission between the gateway and the content server.

Authority certificates
Authority certificates are used by some WAP services, such as banking services, for
checking signatures, server certificates (used to determine the identity of the WAP
server) or other authority certificates.
