that involve transferring confidential information, or
• want to be sure of the authenticity of software when downloading and
installing software.
Important: Note that even if the use of certificates considerably reduces the risks
involved in remote connections and software installation, 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 actually
trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the
listed owner.
