        How Validation Works

        Whenever you use or view a certificate stored by Certificate Manager, it takes several steps to verify the certificate. At a minimum, it confirms that the CA's digital signature on the certificate was created by a CA whose own certificate is (1) present in the Certificate Manager's list of available CA certificates and (2) marked as trusted for issuing the kind of certificate being verified. @@ -419,7 +421,7 @@

        One way to combat this threat is for Certificate Manager to check a certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the verification process (see Managing CRLs, below). Typically, you download a CRL to your browser by clicking a link. If a CRL is present, Certificate Manager checks any certificate issued by the same CA against the list as part of the verification process. -

        If you are not concerned about unauthorized use of your computer, you may not need further security. However, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file containing your sensitive information.

        For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with encryption. Encryption makes it much harder for an unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information.

        Your decision about whether to use encryption for stored sensitive data is a tradeoff between improved security and convenience.

        If you use encryption, you will need to enter a master password periodically, which can be inconvenient. If you don't, it may be easier for a stranger who has access to your computer to steal your passwords.

          Form Manager - Data

          - -

          This section describes how to use the window that allows you to edit data saved on your behalf by the Form Manager. If you are not already viewing this window, follow these steps: -

            -
          1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. -
          2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Forms. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand the list.) -
          3. Click Manage Stored Form Data. -
          - -

          The Form Manager window for managing stored form data allows you to perform two tasks: - -

            -
          • Category: Double-click a category in the Category column to view its subcategories, and click a subcategory to view its data on the right side of the window. To edit or add to the displayed data, click in a field and type. - -

            To add information not currently included in one of the drop down lists on the right, select the blank item and start typing. Similarly, select existing text to edit or delete it. -

          • Remove All Saved Data: Click this button to remove all the saved data at once. -
          - - -

          The last category on the left side, Other Saved Information, includes panels for two special kinds of data: - -

            -
          • Concatenations: The Form Manager typically captures and prefills individual elements, such as first and last name, and combines them when necessary. If it encounters a page that asks for a full name, for example, it prefills it with the first and last name it has stored previously. - -

            However, if the Form Manager hasn't yet stored your first and last name, it saves the full name (if you ask it to) as a single element in the Concatenations panel. - -

          • URL-Specific: This panel lists URL-specific fields and the values to use for each of them at each URL for which you have entered such information. - -

          This section describes how to use the dialog box that allows you to edit site information saved on your behalf by Form Manager. If you are not already viewing it, follow these steps: -

            -
          1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. -
          2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Forms. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand the list.) -
          3. Click Manage Sites. -
          - -

          The Form Manager window for managing sites has two tabs: - -

            -
          • Forms Never Previewed: Click this tab to view the list of sites for which you selected "Bypass this screen when prefilling this form in the future" after choosing Fill in Form from the Edit menu. - -

            If you remove an entry from this list, Form Manager will again give you an opportunity to review form data for that site before filling it in. -

          • Forms Never Saved: Click this tab to view the list of sites for which you selected "Never for this -site" in response to the Form Manager's request to store form data. - -

            If you remove an entry from this list, Form Manager will again ask whether to store form data when you submit forms at that site (assuming that the main Form Manager notification option has been selected in Privacy & Security Preferences - Forms). - -

          - -

          Regardless of which tab you are viewing, you can remove entries from the list as follows: - -

            - -
          • Remove: Select one or more entries that you want to remove, then click this button to remove them. -
          • Remove All: Click this button to remove all the entries for the tab you are viewing. - -
          - -

          See the descriptions of each tab above for the consequences of removing entries. - -

          Prefill Form Data

          - -

          This section describes the window that normally appears when you open the Edit menu and choose Fill In Form. - -

          However, the Fill in Form menu item is enabled only if you have previously used Form Manager to save some form data and are now viewing a web page that is requesting some of the same data. For step-by-step instructions on working with form data, see Using the Form Manager. - -

          The Prefill Form Data window allows you to perform these actions: - -

            -
          • Click in a field to edit the displayed data: Any changes you make here will be reflected in the data used to fill in this form, but won't change your stored data. -
          • Select alternate data: Click the arrow on the right side of any field to display a drop-down menu for that field. If you have previously used Form Manager to save alternate information (for example, a different mailing address), the available alternates are listed in the menu. -
          • Check the items that you would like to have prefilled: Only the items with checkmarks beside them will be filled in automatically. When you first open the window, all the items are checked. Click to deselect any that you don't want filled in automatically. -
          • Bypass this screen when prefilling this form in the future: Select this checkbox to avoid seeing this window the next time you visit this web site. This can be convenient; for example, if you frequently need to enter the same data at the same web site and don't need to check it every time before Form Manager fills it in for you. -

            If you change your mind about this decision, you can restore the Prefill Form Data window for this web site. For details, see Form Manager - Sites. -

          • View Stored Form Data: Click this button to examine or edit all personal data that Form Manager has saved. For details, see Form Manager - Data. -

          Setting Privacy Levels

          -

          Many web sites publish their privacy policies according to the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) standard. A web site's privacy policy describes what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. For information about viewing a web site's privacy policy, see Viewing Privacy Policies. +

          Many web sites develop and publish their privacy policies based on the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) standard. The information that follows applies only to web sites that post a privacy policy based on the P3P standard and the browser's implementation of that standard. The browser's implementation may not be, in all cases, identical to the standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium. -

          You can choose to have your browser make the decision to accept cookies based on the web site's published privacy policy and the level of privacy or lack thereof that you are willing to accept. You can adjust your privacy settings to indicate your desired level of privacy. When cookies are enabled in this manner, the browser checks your current privacy settings against the web site's published privacy policy (if present) and takes appropriate action. +

          A web site's P3P privacy policy describes, in a standardized way, what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. For information about viewing a web site's privacy policy, see Viewing Privacy Policies. + +

          Navigator's implementation of the P3P standard defines three levels of privacy: low, medium, and high (the default is medium). You can select one of these predefined privacy levels, or you can specify your own custom privacy settings in detail. Once you have set your preferred privacy level, your browser can compare your preferences with the web site's P3P policy (if any) and accept or reject cookies accordingly.

          For example, your privacy settings may require the browser to reject cookies that collect personal information without informing you. Alternatively, you can adjust your privacy settings so that the browser simply warns you when a cookie is used in this way, while allowing the action to take place. -

          Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information

          Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information

          If you use Password Manager or Form Manager to save passwords and personal data, then this sensitive information is stored on your computer in a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.

          -

          If you are not concerned about unauthorized use of your computer, you may not need further security. However, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file containing your sensitive information.

          +

          For example, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file containing your sensitive information.

          -

          For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with encryption. Encryption makes it nearly impossible for an unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information.

          +

          For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with encryption. Encryption makes it much harder for an unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information.

          Your decision about whether to use encryption for stored sensitive data is a tradeoff between improved security and convenience.

          If you use encryption, you will need to enter a master password periodically, which can be inconvenient. If you don't, it may be easier for a stranger who has access to your computer to steal your passwords.
