does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must contain correct,

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.
Authority certificates and user certificates may also be saved in the security
module by the service provider.
