Certificate management

Trusting a certificate means that you authorise it to

verify web pages, e-mail servers, software packages,

and other data. Only trusted certificates can be used to

verify services and software.

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.
To change the trust settings, select a certificate and
