Browser security

■
Security features may be required for some services, such as online banking or
shopping. For such connections you need security certificates and possibly a
security module, which may be available on your SIM card. For more information,
contact your service provider.

Security module

The security module improves security services for applications requiring a browser
connection, and allows you to use a digital signature. The security module may contain
certificates as well as private and public keys. The certificates are saved in the security
module by the service provider.
To view or change the security module settings, select Menu > Settings > Security >

Certificates
Important: 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.
There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and
user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider.
