for information on signed applets in JDK 1.1.x:
http://java.sun.com/security
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/
this will allow you to perform your task using appletviewer.

if you're using netscape, you must use their code signing facilities:

for information on the JDK 1.2 security model check out
the papers, FAQs, and presentations at:
