IE and Netscape browsers use different security models.
In order to use the JDK security model in your
IE or Netscape browser, you have to use the Plug-in.

Please see

http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
and

http://java.sun.com/security/signExample
(section: "Running signed applets with the Java Plug-in")

for more details.
