Security module (Locks) The security module is located on the SIM card if your network operator or service provider supplies such a service. It can contain both certificates and your private keys. The security module is protected by a special access PIN and your phone asks you for it when establishing a secure connection. To enter the access PIN (for the security module) and the signature PIN • Scroll to Connect, WAP Options, Security, Locks. Digital signatures You can sign a contract with your phone by entering a digital signature PIN as if signing with a pen on paper. Digital signature records can be traced back to your private key through a certificate that is used for signing a contract. All transactions (signed contracts) made with your phone when browsing are stored in your phone. To check your contracts • Scroll to Connect, WAP Options, Security, Contracts. Trusted certificates and Client certificates To establish a secure connection when using certain WAP services, for example banking or WAP shopping, you need certificates in your phone. • The different types of certificates are as follows: 1. Server certificates are used to identify a WAP gateway to the phone and to show that it is certified by a trusted authority. The server certificate is checked against trusted certificates that are stored in the phone or in a security module. If the phone cannot verify the identity of a server, you are given the option to terminate or continue the connection. 2. Trusted certificates are used to verify the WAP gateway that you are trying to connect to. Your phone may already contain trusted certificates when you buy it. If you have a security module, it may also contain trusted certificates. You can also download trusted certificates from www.SonyEricsson.com. 3. Client certificates are located in a security module together with your private keys. Client certificates can be used to present your identity to a bank or other services. They can also be used for digital signatures. To check the certificates in your phone • Scroll to Connect, WAP Options, Security, Client Certificates. 58 Setting up WAP and email This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use.
