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.
