Tap Mode arrow and select mode Tap OK to accept change Using the security features The WAP browser uses the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) method to exchange secure messages between you and another party. PKI is based on the use of a password key pair and a signature key pair. Each key pair has one public key and one signed key. The public key can be available to anyone, but you must store the signed key securely. All security of a PKI solution is based on the integrity of the signed key. The public key is exchanged between you and another party using a certificate created and signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). The process of creating certificates and using a CA is beyond the scope of this guide. You can use the same key pair for several certificates. All certificates are stored in the WAP Identity Module (WIM). [. . . ] Once the CA has approved your request for a certificate, the certificate is available for download. To store a certificate: 1. Tap the certificate download link. The certificate download link varies depending on the WAP site. Tap link 2. Tap Save. Tap Save 3. Enter your password and tap OK. Your password is the same password set when you generated your Password key pair. Enter your password Tap OK 4. If you are storing a user certificate, you can enter a friendly name and tap OK. 20 Using the security features The name is used for the certificate list when you are viewing your certificates. Make the name clear so that you can recognize the certificate. [. . . ]
