Security Module - Nokia N85 User Manual

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.
View certificate details—check authenticity
You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server
when the signature and the validity period of a server
certificate have been checked.
You are notified if the identity of the server is not
authentic or if you do not have the correct security
certificate in your device.
To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and
