Subject: Signed Applets
We need to demonstrate signed applets to some of our potential clients. I
am note sure how my signing my own applet (i.e. VeriSign not being
involved) makes my applet secure. Can you shed some light on this?
Do I have it right, I sign my applet, then make my public key available for
others to download? They install my public key, then they can run my
trusted applets. What keeps anyone from calling their key sun.com?
Thanks.
