Manage certificates

Digital certificates protect your content when transferring confidential information.

Certificates should be used when connecting to an online bank or another site, or

to a remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential information.
Certificates should also be used when you want to reduce the risk of viruses or other

malicious software and be sure of the authenticity of software when downloading

and installing software.

Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used to verify the origin of

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.
