A customer asks:

I have been reading about the JAVA Archive and the developer's ability to
sign applets using JAR.

Can you please tell me what the difference is, then, between JAR and JCE
in this regard. My understanding was that JCE addressed the issue of
bytecode authenticity.

Can someone give me a couple line response to this?
