You can download the certificate from a WAP page if the WAP supports the use of security 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 list of certificates in the phone.
You can only be sure that a WAP gateway or WAP server is the one it claims to be after its identity has
been checked against the corresponding certificate in the phone.
You will see a note on the phone display if the identity of the WAP server or WAP gateway cannot be
verified, the WAP server or WAP gateway certificate is not authentic or if you do not have the right
certificate in your phone.
To view the list of security certificates:
1. In the Services menu, scroll to Settings and press (Select).
2. Scroll to Security certificates and press (Select).
Security icon
If the security icon ( ) is displayed during a WAP connection, the data transmission between the
phone and the WAP gateway or WAP server (identified by the IP address setting in the Connection
settings) is encrypted and secure.
However, the security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server (place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. It is up to the service provider
to secure the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
