Authority certificates
For using some WAP services, such as banking services, you may need security
certificates. Using the certificates can help you improve the security of
connections between your phone and a WAP gateway or WAP server, if the
Connection security
is set to
On
.
You can download an authority 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.

gateway and the content server is secure. The service provider secures the data
transmission between the gateway and the content server.
