Security features for browser connections Security features may be required for some services, such as banking services. For such connections you need security certificates. For more information, contact your service provider. 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. CERTIFICATES There are two kinds of certificates: server certificates and authority certificates. • Server certificates The phone uses a server certificate to create a connection with improved security to the service provider. The phone receives the server certificate from the service provider before the connection is established and its validity is checked using the authority certificates saved in the phone. Server certificates are not saved. The phone indicates if the identity of the Internet server cannot be verified, if the Internet server certificate is not authentic or if you do not have the correct authority certificate in your phone. The security indicator is displayed during a connection, if the data transmission between the phone and the Internet server is encrypted. The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server. Nokia 6651 User Guide 94 Copyright © 2004 Nokia
