Connection security
If the security indicator ( ) is displayed during a connection,
the data transmission between the device and the internet
gateway or server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission
between the gateway and the content server (where the data
is stored) is secure. The service provider secures the data
transmission between the gateway and the content server.
Security certificates may be required for some services, such
as banking services. 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. For more information,
contact your service provider.

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.
