Certificate manager

Select Menu > Control panel > Settings and General >

Security > Certificate management.

Digital certificates are used to verify the origins of software

but do not guarantee safety. There are four different types of

certificates: authority certificates, personal certificates,

trusted site certificates and device certificates. During a

secure connection, a server may send a server certificate to

your device. Upon receipt, it is checked through an authority

certificate stored in your device. You receive notification if

the identity of the server is not authentic or if you do not have

the correct certificate in your device.

You can download a certificate from a web site, or receive a

certificate as a message. Certificates should be used when

you connect to an online bank or a remote server to transfer

confidential information. They should also be used if you

want to reduce the risk of viruses or other malicious software,

and to check the authenticity of software when you

download and install software to your device.

Tip: When you add a new certificate, check its

authenticity.

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server when

the signature and the validity period of a server certificate

have been checked.
