Certificate Trust Settings; View Certificate Details - Nokia E52 User Manual

You can download a certificate from a web site, or receive
a certificate as a message. Certificates should be used
when you connect to an online bank or a remote server to
transfer confidential information. They should also be
used if you want to reduce the risk of viruses or other
malicious software, and to check the authenticity of
software when you download and install software to your
device.
Tip: When you add a new certificate, check its
authenticity.

Security Certificate

Trusting a certificate means that you authorise it to verify
web pages, e-mail servers, software packages, and other
data. Only trusted certificates can be used to verify services
and 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 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.
To change the trust settings, select a certificate and
