Nokia 7900 002C2R6 User Manual

 

 is displayed during a connection, if the data transmission between the 

phone and the content server is encrypted.

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.

There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and 
user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider. 
Authority certificates and user certificates may also be saved in the security 
module by the service provider.

The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and the 
content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure. The service 
provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.

A cookie is data that a site saves in the cache memory of your phone. Cookies are 
saved until you clear the cache memory. 

While browsing, select Options > Other options > Security > Cookie settings; or in 
the standby mode, select Menu > Web > Settings > Security settings > Cookies. 
To allow or prevent the phone from receiving cookies, select Allow or Reject.

A cache is a memory location that is used to store data temporarily. If you have tried to 
access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords, empty the cache 
after each use. The information or services you have accessed are stored in the cache. To 
empty the cache, while browsing, select Options > Other options > Clear the cache; in the 
standby mode, select Menu > Web > Clear the cache.

You can select whether to allow the running of scripts from a secure page. The 
phone supports WML scripts.

While browsing, to allow the scripts, select Options > Other options > Security > 
WMLScript settings; or in the standby mode, select Menu > Web > Settings > 
Security settings > WMLScripts in conn. > Allow.
