White paper G900c
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have certificates saved in the phone. Certificates can be downloaded and installed when required. There are two types of certificates:
Certificate | A trusted certificate used to |
authority | verify that a Web site is genuine. |
| If the phone has a stored |
| trusted certificate of a certain |
| type, it means the user can trust |
| all Web sites which present a |
| certificate that can be verified |
| by the trusted certificate. |
| Certificates are preinstalled in |
| the phone and can be |
| downloaded from the trusted |
| supplier's Web page. |
|
|
User | A personal certificate that |
certificate | verifies the user's identity. A |
| bank that the user has a |
| contract with may issue this |
| kind of certificate. |
|
|
Preinstalled in G900c are X.509 certificates from
Baltimore, Entrust, Geotrust, GlobalSign, GTE
Cybertrust, RSA, Sony Ericsson, Thawte and
