    Subject: API for dealing with the security database generated by javakey utility

Hello!

I started studying security features offered by JDK1.1.1.

Goal:
I would like to programmatically sign and verify signatures on messages.

The problem:
I could not find any classes included with JDK1.1.1 that provide access
to the security database created and manipulated by javakey utility. The
classes that should deal with the database, Identity and Signer, are
abstract classes. I need that access to be able to retrieve private and
public keys and certificates that have been stored in the database
during previous sessions.

Obviously, javakey utility implements somehow Identity and Signer
classes. Is the source code for javakey available, or, more importantly,
are there any implementations of Identity and Signer classes available?

Thank you in advance,

Milan
