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.
