Digital certificates are needed if you:
• want to connect to an online bank or another site or
remote server for actions that involve transferring
confidential information, or
• want to minimise the risk of viruses or other malicious
software, and be sure of the authenticity of software
when downloading and installing software.
Important
: Note, however, 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 for you 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.
Viewing certificate details - checking authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a browser
gateway or a server when the signature and the period
of validity of a browser gateway or server certificate
have been checked.
You will be notified on the phone’s display:
• if the identity of the browser server or gateway is not
authentic or
• if you do not have the correct security certificate in
your phone.
