16. Web

Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to
selected services on the mobile Internet. Many wireless mobile
Internet access features are network-dependent, and some
features may not be available. Contact your service provider for
more information.

Technology background

A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what
the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. The mobile community began
developing WAP several years ago to provide access to the Internet for mobile users.

Most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even contain
low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service provider and others
are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as varied as the web
pages on the Internet.

Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.” Internet
content on your mobile phone is called a “page,” “WAP card,” or a “Deck of cards.”
You may not be able to view all the details of the mobile Internet pages, as page
appearance may vary due to screen size.

Service provider

Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
service provider is now your mobile Internet service provider as well. It is likely
that your service provider has created a home page and set up your WAP browser
to go to this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. Once at your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.

Access service

Set up service

You may receive the configuration settings required for browsing as a configuration
message from the network operator or service provider that offers the service that
you want to use. See "Configuration settings service" on page 9. You can also
enter all the configuration settings manually. See "Configuration" on page 51.

It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone.
Normally this is done by your service provider once you have subscribed to the
feature. Contact your service provider if you have problems using the browser.

function of the phone keys may vary in different services. Follow the text guides
on the phone display. For more information, contact your service provider.

security module, which may be available on your SIM card. For more information,
contact your service provider.

Security module

The security module improves security services for applications requiring a browser
connection, and allows you to use a digital signature. The security module may
contain certificates as well as private and public keys. The certificates are saved
in the security module by the service provider.

Select

Menu

>

Web

>

Settings

>

Security settings

>

Security module settings

and one of the following options:

Security module details

— to show the security module title, status, manufacturer,

and serial number.

Module PIN request

— to set the phone to ask for the module PIN when using

services provided by the security module. Enter the code, and select

On

. To disable

the module PIN request, select

Off

.

Change module PIN

— to change the module PIN, if allowed by the security module.

Enter the current module PIN code, then enter the new code twice.

Change signing PIN

— to change the signing PIN code for the digital signature.

Select the signing PIN you want to change. Enter the current PIN code, then enter
the new code twice.

See also "Access codes" on page 17.

Certificates

Important: Note that 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 device are correct.

Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you
really trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really
belongs to the listed owner.

There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and
user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider.
Authority certificates and user certificates may also be saved in the security
module by the service provider.

The security indicator

is displayed during a connection, if the data transmission

between the phone and the content server is encrypted.

The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway
and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure.
The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server.

Digital signature

You can make digital signatures with your phone if your SIM card has a security
module. Using the digital signature can be the same as signing your name to a
paper bill, contract, or other document.

To make a digital signature, select a link on a page, such as the title of the book
you want to buy and its price. The text to sign, which may include the amount
and date, is shown.

Check that the header text is

Read

and that the digital signature icon

is shown.

If the digital signature icon does not appear, there is a security breach, and you
should not enter any personal data such as your signing PIN.

To sign the text, read all of the text first, and then select

Sign

.

The text may not fit within a single screen. Therefore, make sure to scroll through
and read all of the text before signing.

Select the user certificate you want to use. Enter the signing PIN (see "Access
codes" on page 17), and select

OK

. The digital signature icon disappears, and the

service may display a confirmation of your purchase.
