Certificate management

Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used
to verify the origin of software.
In the certificate management main view, you can see a
list of authority certificates that are stored in your device.

Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect to
an online bank or another site or remote server for actions
that involve transferring confidential information. They
should also be used if you want to reduce the risk of viruses
or other malicious software and be sure of the authenticity
of software when downloading and installing 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.

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server
when the signature and the period of validity of a server
certificate have been checked.
