i'm not exactly sure i understand what happened.
assuming you're using the basic JDK distribution, you can only
generate DSA key pairs with javakey. verisign does
not certify DSA public keys.

so it's unclear to me how you got a certificate from verisign.
do you have an RSA plug-in crypto module that you used to create
RSA key pairs?
