Security Issues - Nokia 6800 User Manual

• SECURITY ISSUES

Security features are required for some WAP services, such as banking services or
shopping on a WAP site. For such connections you need security certificates and
possibly a security module, which may be available on your SIM card.
The security module can contain certificates as well as private and public keys. The
security module provides security services for WAP- related applications and allows
you to use a digital signature. The certificates are saved in the security module by
the service provider, or they can be downloaded from a WAP site. For more information,
contact your service provider.
CLEAR THE CACHE
The information or services you have accessed are stored in the cache of your phone.
A cache is a buffer memory, which is used to store data temporarily. If you tried to
access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords (for example,
your bank account), empty the cache of your phone after each use.

in the display.

If browsing, press Options.

About authority certificates
To use some xHTML services, such as banking services, you need an authority
certificate. Using the certificate can help you to improve the security of
connections between your phone and an xHTML server.
You can download the certificate from an xHTML page if the xHTML service supports
the use of authority certificates. After the download, you can view the certificate,
then save or delete it. If you save the certificate, it is added to the list of certificates
in the phone.
Your phone alerts you if the identity of the xHTML server or xHTML gateway cannot
be verified or is not authentic.

3 Scroll to Authority certificates and press Select.
4 Scroll to Certificate list and press Select. The list of authority certificates
is displayed.
