downloading and installing software.
Important: Even if the use of certificates makes the
risks involved in remote connections and software

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.

certificate in your device.
