server (identified by the

encrypted.

not indicate that the data
transmission between the gateway

to determine whether the card
content has not been maliciously
read or modified. It can contain
certificates, as well as private and
public keys to operate the
certificates. The certificates are
stored in the security module by SIM
card issuer or service provider.
Digital signature
With the digital signature
functionality you can, for example,
digitally sign a bill or a financial
contract. The signature can be
traced back to you via the private
key and the associated certificate
that was used to perform the
signature, so signing using the
digital signature is the same as
signing your name to a paper bill,
contract or other document.
A digital signature is initiated by a
code embedded in a WAP page.
Select a link, for example, the title of
the book you want to buy and its
price. The digital signature
procedure starts and shows the text
to sign. At this point the header text
is Read and the digital signature
icon is shown.
Note: If the digital
signature icon does not
appear, this means that
there is a security breach,
and you should not enter
any personal data such as
your signing PIN.
