Security

Phone and SIM

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code (4 to 8 digits) protects your SIM card against
unauthorised use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. After three
consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked, and you need to unblock
it before you can use the SIM card again. See the information about PUK code in this
section.

UPIN code may be supplied with the USIM card. The USIM card is an enhanced version of
the SIM card and is supported by UMTS mobile phones. The UPIN code protects the USIM
card against unauthorised use.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits) supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access some
functions in your phone.

Lock code (5 digits) can be used to lock the phone to avoid unauthorised use. The factory
setting for the lock code is 12345. To avoid unauthorised use of your phone, change the
lock code. Keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate from your phone.

PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and PUK2 codes (8 digits) are required to change a
blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM
card, contact the operator whose SIM card is in your phone.

UPUK code may be supplied with the USIM card and is needed to unblock a UPIN code.

Wallet code is needed to use the wallet services. See Wallet, p. ’75’.

Certif. management

Digital certificates do not guarantee safety; they are used to verify the origins of software.

In the Certificate management main view, you can see a list of authority certificates that
have been stored in your phone. Press

to see a list of personal certificates, if available.

Glossary: Digital

certificates are used to
verify the origin of the
XHTML or WML pages and
installed software.
However, they can only be
trusted if the origin of the
certificate is known to be
authentic.

Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect to an online bank or another site
or remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential information. They should
also be used if 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.

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 phone are correct.

Viewing certificate details - checking authenticity

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a server when the signature and the period
of validity of a server certificate have been checked.

You will be notified on the phone display if the identity of the server is not authentic or if
you do not have the correct security certificate in your phone.

Certificate corrupted

owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.
