Certificate management

In the Certificate management main view, you can see a list of authority
certificates that have been stored in your game deck. Press
certificates, if available.
Glossary: Authority certificates are used by some browser services, such
as banking services, for checking signatures or server certificates or other
authority certificates. User certificates are issued to users by a certifying
authority.
Options in the certificate management main view are Certificate details, Delete,
Trust settings, Mark/Unmark, Help, and Exit.
Digital certificates should be used if you want to do the following:
Connect to an online bank or another site or remote server for actions that
involve transferring confidential information.
Reduce the risk of viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the
authenticity of software when downloading and installing software.
Digital certificates are used to verify the origin of browser pages and installed
software. However, they can only be trusted if the origin of the certificate is known
to be authentic.
Important: 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.
CERTIFICATE DETAILS—CHECKING AUTHENTICITY
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a browser gateway or a server when
the signature and the period of validity of a browser gateway or server certificate
have been checked.
You will be notified on the game deck display if the identity of the browser server
or gateway is not authentic or if you do not have the correct security certificate in
your game deck
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate and select Options > Certificate
details. When you open certificate details, certificate management checks the
validity of the certificate and one of the following notes may appear:
Certificate not trusted—You have not set any application to use the certificate. For
more information, see See "Change trust settings" on page 49.
Expired certificate—The period of validity has ended for the selected certificate.
