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.
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.

Download files

Important: Only install and use applications and other
software from sources that you trust. Applications from
untrusted sources may include malicious software that can
access data stored in your device, cause financial harm, or
damage your device.
