I have tested the signedWriteFile example as documented in JDK 1.1 with

appletviewer and worked. However I have tried to test it with commercial

web browsers (NC 4.0, IE 4.0, HotJava) by setting their options for low

security in Java Applets but it always generated a security exception.

Is there a way to incorporate a certification (without specifying a =
certificate authority (CA))

within these browsers for the specific site and applet in order to =
override=20

the security restriction ? If this is not possible how this can be =
achieved by

specifying a CA ? If specifying a CA is the only way to override the =
security

restrictions of an applet how can I contact a CA in order to obtain a =
certificate

for my own applets and site ?

I thank you in advance
