Subject: Trusted Applet Question
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 13:39:03 PST
Hello:
This is the only email address I could find on the JavaSoft site that
seemed to possibly accept a security question. If there is someone else
I should be writing, please forward this question to them.
My question is:
If I create a signed applet, and a certificate that can be reliably
acquired by a user of my applet, how do they identify me to their
browser's virtual machine? Everything in the documentation implies that
to use a signed applet, one must use javakey to add the certificate to
the identity database. However, if someone is simply a web user, and
doesn't have the jdk, they don't have javakey. So how does the "general
public" get to trust and use my applet?
Thanks for your help
