Allow Installation of Third-Party Programs
By default, you can install only programs and games downloaded from Google Play. The Security menu
lets you allow installation of non-Play Store apps on your phone.

Work with Certificates
Use client and Certificate Authority (CA) digital certificates to enable your phone to access VPN or
secured Wi-Fi networks, and also to provide authentication to online servers. You can get a certificate
from your system administrator or download it from sites that require authentication.
Note: Some apps such as your browser or email client let you install certificates directly in the app. See
the app’s help for details.
