Connection security
With a secure connection and security certificates, you can
safely browse the internet.
If the security indicator ( ) is displayed during a
connection, the data transmission between the device and
the internet gateway or server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data
transmission between the gateway and the content server
(where the data is stored) is secure. The service provider
secures the data transmission between the gateway and
the content server.
Security certificates may be required for some services,
such as banking services. You are notified if the identity of
the server is not authentic or if you do not have the correct
security certificate in your device. For more information,
contact your service provider.
Important: 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.
