Hi,

The SecurityException you encountered could have many factors, for example,
Netscape has failed to verify the signed jar due to different calculation
method on the content files or it can not verify and DSA signatures, which
is used in our JDK javakey tool.

You can import Duke's certificates to the netscape via cgi script using
a special MIME type. For details of all of these, i.e. Signing, Verifying,
and import Certificates, check out Netscape site at:

http://developer.netscape.com/software/signedobj/index.html

Hope that helps,

Gigi Ankeny
