I don't think there is a hook into third party certificate provider is
there? They can sign their applets themselves but how could someone
verify that Taxsoft really did sign them without checking verisign or
someone?

Could you set me at Taxsoft straight on this one :*)

thanks

My company - Taxsoft, Inc. - is developing a software in Java and I want to
know how can I get a certificate to sign my jar files just like I got a
certificate to sign my cab files from Microsoft.

We wish to completely convert our program from Visual C++ to Java, but we
need to be able to sign our applets. to complete this convertion.

If you wish to get in touch with us, our address is 5301 Wisconsin Ave
Suite 620 NW, Washington, DC 20015. Ph (202) 244-9300. Fax (202) 2449779.

Thank you,
