About authority certificates

To use some xHTML services, such as banking services, you need an
authority certificate. Using the certificate can help you to improve the
security of connections between your phone and an xHTML server.

You can download the certificate from an xHTML page if the xHTML
service supports the use of authority certificates. After the download, you
can view the certificate, then save or delete it. If you save the certificate,
it is added to the list of certificates in the phone.

Your phone alerts you if the identity of the xHTML server or xHTML
gateway cannot be verified or is not authentic.
