Authority certificates

For using some WAP services, such as banking services, you need an authority certificate. Using the
certificate can help you improve the security of connections between your phone and a WAP gateway
or WAP server, if the Connection security is set to On.
You can download the certificate from a WAP page if the WAP service supports the use of authority
certificates. After the download, you can view the certificate and then save or delete it. If you save the
certificate, it is added to the list of certificates in the phone.
You will see a note on the phone display if the identity of the WAP server or WAP gateway cannot be
verified, if the WAP server or WAP gateway certificate is not authentic or if you do not have the right
certificate in your phone.

Viewing the list of authority certificates

Security indicator

If the security indicator is displayed during a WAP connection, the data transmission between the
phone and the WAP gateway or WAP server (identified by the IP address in the Edit active service
settings) is encrypted.
However, the security indicator does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and
the content server (place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. It is up to the service
provider to secure the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
