    Subject: Writing signed or secure files from an applet/application.

Is it possible to write a signed/encrypted file from within an
application? I would like an application to write out a file and know
that as long as it is signed, people will know that my application wrote
it and it has not been hacked. Maybe there could be a subclass of the
output stream class that is SignedOutputStream.

Can you route JDK 1.2 secure streams to file to achieve this?
thanks!
