    Subject: Security Providers in applets

Hi,

I am trying to get an applet that uses a security provider working in
Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The problem is that
the security provider must be registered using
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt(). In the case of Communicator this
isn't possible due to the fact that java.security is not implemented in the
browser's JDK. In the case of Explorer, it is forbidden by the applet sandbox.

So my question is: Is there any way I can get an applet that calls
java.security.Security.insertProviderAt() working in Communicator and
Explorer.

Thanks,
Mike.
