Heres the problem:

Internet commerce and the SET protocol introduce specifications for
performing
secure electronic transactions. Part of the specification includes the use
of
things such as digital certificates(provided by merchants AND OR provided
by credit
card issuers) as well as electronic wallets etc. Microsoft stores
certificate information in the registry and God only knows how to access
any number of wallets that may be on a clients local machine. I dont like
the way Verifone and CyberCash use static HTML pages and proprietary tools
to access payment information. I want to write applets that will give me
access to this information. Will there be any extensions to Java that
support Operating System independent access to such information? If so, I
would love to be able to read about this stuff - gimmie whitepapers!

P.S. What about encryption in applets
