Server authentication requires a server certificate stored 
at the server side and a trusted certificate stored at the 
client side.
Client authentication requires a client certificate stored at 
the client side and a trusted certificate stored at the server 
side.
A Wireless Identity Module (WIM) can contain both 
trusted and client certificates, private keys and 
algorithms needed for WTLS handshaking, encryption/
decryption and signature generation. The WIM module 
can be placed on a SIM card and is then referred to as a 
SWIM card.
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have 
certificates stored in the phone. There are two types of 
certificates:
Trusted certificate
A certificate that guarantees that a WAP site is genuine. 
If the phone has a stored certificate of a certain type, it 
means that the user can trust all WAP gateways that use 
the certificate. Trusted certificates can be pre-installed in 
the phone, in the SWIM or they can be downloaded from 
the trusted supplier’s WAP page.
Client certificate
A personal certificate that verifies the user’s identity. A 
bank that the user has a contract with may issue this kind 
of certificate. Client certificates can be pre-installed in 
the SWIM card.
WIM locks (PIN codes)
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN codes) 
for a SWIM, which protect the subscription from 
unauthorized use. The PIN codes should typically be 
provided by the supplier of the SWIM.
Access lock
An access lock protects the data in the WIM. The user is 
asked to enter the PIN code the first time the SWIM card 
is accessed when establishing a connection.
Signature lock
A signature lock is used for confirming transactions, 
much like a digital signature.
In the T610/612, the user can check which transactions 
have been made with the phone when browsing. Each 
time the user confirms a transaction with a signature lock 
code, a contract is stored in the phone. The contract 
contains details about the transaction.
Configuration of WAP settings
An easy way to perform WAP configuration in the T610/
612 is to use the step-by-step WAP configurator 
available on http://www.SonyEricsson.com. The 
configurator utilizes OTA provisioning.
Manual configuration is done using the menu system in 
the phone. This is described in the User’s guide.
Over-the-air provisioning 
of WAP settings
To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the 
T610/612, all settings can be sent to the phone as an 
SMS message. This makes it easy for an operator, a 
service provider or a company to distribute settings for 
Internet/intranet, and WAP, without the user having to 
configure the phone manually. This also makes it easy to 
upgrade services, as no manual configuration is required.
The OTA configuration message is distributed via 
SMS point-to-point.
The setup information is a binary encoded XML mes-
sage (WBXML). To receive information about OTA 
specifications, please contact your local Sony Erics-
son representative for consumer products. A configu-
rator that utilizes OTA provisioning can be tested on 
www.SonyEricsson.com
The user is alerted about new settings when the ongo-
ing browsing session ends. Settings are not changed 
during an ongoing browsing session.
User interaction is limited to receiving and accepting/
rejecting the configuration message, and selecting 
which WAP profile to allocate the settings to.
Security can be handled using a keyword identifier 
displayed on the screen as a shared secret between the 
SMS sender and recipient. Therefore the user can 
verify that the configuration message is authentic.
