Hi there,

I hope someone out there can help me on this problem:

When I issue the command "javakey -gk myname DSA 1024", I get a
null-pointer-exception. I work with the version JDK 1.1.6. Has this
anything to do with the fact that key-generation is not supported in
this version of Java?
I believe so, and it should be supported in JCE 1.2 which runs under
JDK 1.2 ?
Ok, but as I do not live in the US, I cannot download JCE 1.2 (the
encryption extension).
So, does this mean I just won't be able to sign my applets (even if I
only want to sign my applets myself, and do not want an official
certificate)? Or does anyone know of an
implementation of the security -and encryption packages which I
could use?

Any help would be appreciated,

Greetings Rob van der Kraan
