When running a Java™ application, you may be prompted to grant access to protected features. These features are protected
because using them could incur you cost, or involve your personal data. In case of doubt, don't hesitate to refuse access by

access. It remains valid until the MIDlet is removed from the handset.

- Always: The security group unconditionally grants access to protected features.

A MIDlet has a security status which is either "uncertified", or else "certified".
An "uncertified" status means that the source of the MIDlet could not be verified by the mobile phone at installation time. As

far as the phone knows, the MIDlet could have been written by anyone.
