    Subject: Help for Certificate Usage

Hi,

Here are some questions I have concerning Certificates and the following
functionality:

I am working on a Java project where I would like to allow the client
program to digitally sign some arbitrary data, and then store the entire
message. This data may itself be a certificate. Then the client should
be able to look up the message and display the signing Certificate and
information, and perhaps the enclosed certificate. Down the road, I
would like to interface with the Verisign digital ID database.

I have the JDK 1.2Beta2, and the jce for 1.2.

Questions...

1. What Java class files in the JDK or any support sdk exist to help me
do this today?
2. Are the any links to examples on your site?
3. Can you recommend a good book on this subject, as well as SSL usage?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
