Nokia N95 manual 146, Security Certificate management, View certificate details-check authenticity

Settings	Certificate management
	Press	, and select Tools > Settings >
	General	> Security > Certificate management.
	Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are
	used to verify the origin of software.
	In the certificate management main view, you can
	see a list of authority certificates that are stored in
	your device. Scroll right to see a list of personal
	certificates, if available.
	Digital certificates should be used if you want to
	connect to an online bank or another site or remote
	server for actions that involve transferring
	confidential information. They should also be used
	if you want to reduce the risk of viruses or other
	malicious software and be sure of the authenticity
	of software when downloading and installing
	software.
	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
146	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.

View certificate details—check authenticity

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server when the signature and the period of validity of a server certificate have been checked.

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.

To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and select Options > Certificate details. When you open certificate details, the validity of the certificate is checked, and one of the following notes may be displayed:

●Certificate not trusted — You have not set any application to use the certificate.

●Expired certificate — The period of validity has ended for the selected certificate.

●Certificate not valid yet — The period of validity has not yet begun for the selected certificate.

●Certificate corrupted — The certificate cannot be used. Contact the certificate issuer.
