Connection security

If the security indicator ( ) is displayed during a connection,

the data transmission between the device and the internet

gateway or server is encrypted.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission

between the gateway and the content server (where the data

is stored) is secure. The service provider secures the data

transmission between the gateway and the content server.
Security certificates may be required for some services, such

as banking services. You are notified if the identity of the

server is not authentic or if you do not have the correct

security certificate in your device. For more information,

contact your service provider.

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.
