    Subject: Signed applets and my browser

I would like to deploy an intranet application which need to store data
on local client disk. I have used javakey and jar to create an archive
file. It works fine with appletviewer.

Now, I would kike to use a "standard" borwser like Communicator or
Internet Explorer. My applet now hangs because Netscape or Microsoft
navigator don't accept IMHO java signature policy, and also because I
must deliver the keys I used to signe the jar file.

Why browser dont't implement java signature policy, where is my mistake
(I'm not cryptography technology fluent)...

I test Netscape example on signed applets, It seems to work only with
local applets and do'nt work with downloaded applets-jar files.

Could you help me to solve my problem, please. (I used JDK1.1.5)

Thanks
