Hi,
The security architecture used by Sun in their jdk is not compatible
with the security package used in Netscape or IE for that mater. So
applets signed in jdk using javakey will not be recognised as signed by
Netscape or IE. There are two approaches you can follow to get around
this problem
1. Use the netscape security api to grant extended rights to your
applets. You can find additional information on this at
developer.netscape.com
2. Use Java Activator to replace the Java run Time environment with the
jdk compatible run time environment. Java Activator EA3 is now available
at java.sun.com

Hope this helps
