I searched for this topic and have not found what I am looking for.

Basically, I am wondering what exactley a certificate it (option->certificates) I read the info on the blackberry site, but that all went over my head. What are they? What are certificates used for? Is it necessary to have them if Im not on BES? I dont understand what they are. Thanks.

Q.2: My browser certificate is expiring. What does that mean?

Netscape Communications Corporation and VeriSign, Inc. have stated that the VeriSign® Certificate Authority Certificate on certain browser versions is about to expire. This is similar to the situation when a credit card expires and the issuing credit card company re-issues a new credit card. Rather than issuing a new Certificate to every affected browser user, VeriSign, Inc. and Netscape Communications Corporation recommend upgrading to the most current browser version, which contains the new Certificate Authority Certificates.

How do I know which ones I need on my blackberry? The certificate loader has a lot of them. I am a basic user, with no bes. Is there a way to get the original ones back?
