Digital certificates are used to verify the

origins of software but do not

guarantee safety. There are four

different types of certificates: authority

certificates, personal certificates,

trusted site certificates, and device

certificates. During a secure connection,

a server may send a server certificate to

your device. Upon receipt, it is checked

through an authority certificate stored

in your device. You receive notification

if the identity of the server is not

authentic or if you do not have the

correct certificate in your device.
You can download a certificate from a

web site, or receive a certificate as a

message. Certificates should be used

when you connect to an online bank or

a remote server to transfer confidential

information. They should also be used if

you want to reduce the risk of viruses or

other malicious software, and to check

the authenticity of software when you

download and install software to your

device.
Tip: When you add a new certificate,

check its authenticity.
