Certificates
There are three kinds of certificates:
• Server certificates
A server certificate is sent from
the server to the phone and its
validity is checked using the
authority certificates stored in
the phone or the security module.
This process helps to determine
whether a WAP gateway or a
WAP server is the one it claims to
be.

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 authority certificate in
your phone.
• Authority certificates
Authority certificates are used by
some WAP services, such as
banking services, for checking
signatures or server certificates
or other authority certificates.
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
certificate list in the phone.
Authority certificates may also be
available in the security module.
• User certificates
User certificates are issued to
users by a Certifying Authority.
They associate a user with a
specific private key in a security
module, and they are stored in
the module by the SIM card
issuer or the service provider.
