Try using the files from http://java.sun.com/security/signExample

Somehow a second copy of the example was spawned, and it might be
out of date. I'll delete the second copy.

The example should work (and create a file) on appletviewer and HotJava.

It won't work with Netscape or Microsoft's browser, but you could try
the Java Plug-In.

The stock answer about browser compatibility is:

Unfortunately the JDK 1.1 signing and verification is not supported
by the web browsers (Netscape's and Microsoft's.) It is supported
in HotJava, http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava and appletviewer.

You can use the Java Plug-In in the browsers to get access to
more recent JDK technology, http://java.sun.com/products/plugin
You should be able to use 1.1.x signed applets with the Plug-In
plugged into the browsers.

We are working with the Java licensees to get the standard Java
signing working for people in an interoperable way.
