Security certificates

For some WAP service such as banking services, you need a security certificate. The security certificate helps you improve the security of the connection between your phone and a WAP gateway or server.

Note: You must set the Connection security option to On.

You can download the certificate from a WAP page and then view, save, or delete it. If you save it, the certificate is stored in your phone. Then the phone uses the certificate to verify the identity of that WAP server when you return to it. The phone alerts you if the identity of a WAP server or gateway can not be verified, or if you don’t have the correct certificate stored in your phone.

Important: Internet content received over a secure connection and stored in your browser's cache may be reused over non-secure connections and may create security issues. Please check with your service provider to determine if emptying your browser's cache after each browsing session or some other method should be used to avoid security issues.

TO VIEW THE LIST OF SECURITY CERTIFICATES:

1Press Menu 11 and scroll to Settings.

2Press Select and scroll to Security certificates.

15 3 Press Select.

If the security icon appears during a WAP connection, it indicates that the data transmission between the phone and the WAP gateway or server is encrypted and secure. However, the icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the content server is secure. It’s up to the service provider to secure the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
