Important: Note, however, that 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.
Important: 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 phone are correct.
Important: Before changing these settings, you must make sure 
that you really trust the owner of the certificate and that the 
certificate really belongs to the listed owner. 
Digital signature
You can create digital signatures with your phone. The signature can be 
traced back to you via the private key in the security module and the 
user certificate that was used to create the signature. Using the digital 
signature may be considered to be equal to a normal signature on any 
legal document.
To create a digital signature, select a link on a page, for example the title 
of the book you want to buy and its price. The text that needs to be 
signed (possibly including amount, date, etc.) will be shown. 
Check that the header text is 
Read
 and that the digital signature icon 
 is shown.
Note: If the digital signature icon does not appear, there is a 
security breach and you should not enter any personal data 
such as your signing PIN.
To add the digital signature to the text, read all of the text first and then 
you can select 
Sign
.
Note: The text may not fit on a single screen. Therefore, make 
sure to scroll through and read all of the text before signing.
Select the user certificate that you want to use. Key in the signing PIN 
(see Access codes on page 13) and press 
OK
