Digital certificates are used to verify the origins of

software but do not guarantee safety. There are four

different types of certificates: authority certificates,

personal certificates, trusted site certificates, and device

certificates. During a secure connection, a server may send

a server certificate to your device. Upon receipt, it is

checked through an authority certificate stored in your

device. You receive notification if the identity of the server

is not authentic or if you do not have the correct certificate

in your device.
You can download a certificate from a web site, or receive

a certificate as a message. Certificates should be used

when you connect to an online bank or a remote server to

transfer confidential information. They should also be

used if you want to reduce the risk of viruses or other

malicious software, and to check the authenticity of

software when you download and install software to your

device.

Tip: When you add a new certificate, check its

authenticity.
