to accomplish this using appletviewer/hotjava:
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample
in netscape:
http://developer.netscape.com/software/signedobj/index.html
with IE:
http://www.microsoft.com/security

java applets can call C code in DLL's in some limited

to get around this, applets relied on DLL's.
