Certificates Important: Note 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 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. • Server certificates are for creating a connection with improved security to the content server. The phone receives the server certificate from the content server before the connection is established and its validity is checked using the authority certificates saved in the phone. Server certificates are not saved. The security icon does not indicate that the Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All Rights Reserved. 59
