We don't yet have a relationship established with a CA, in which the
CA generates certificates that can be used with the Java signatures in
JDK 1.x. We are working on etablishing such a relationship with the
CA's.

I encourage you to tell VeriSign that you want to use their services
in conjunction with Java signatures, since it is when they hear from
customers that they are motivated to provide such services.

Thanks,
Marianne
