Browser security

Security features may be required for some services, such as banking services or online shopping. For such connections you
need security certificates and possibly a security module, which may be available on your SIM card. For more information,
contact your service provider.

Security module

The security module improves security services for applications requiring a browser connection, and allows you to use a
digital signature. The security module can contain certificates as well as private and public keys. The certificates are saved in
the security module by the service provider.
To change the security module settings, press Menu, and select
settings.

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
