From Remarks on Internet and Java Security Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Geoffrey Fox, Mehmet Sen


1 The SCRIPT tags in the HTML pages can specify more than one JAR file; if so, signtool creates as many JAR files as it needs.
2 The signtool utility program helps to deal with certificate databases; for example signtool -L -d my_test_dir list the certificates stored in the certificate database *.db files in the specified directory. signtool -l -k nickname verifies an object-signing certificate with the specified nickname.
3 To sign a file using the Netscape Signing Tool;
4 1. Create an empty directory: % mkdir signdir
5 2. Put script files into it
6 3. Specify the name of your object-signing certificate and sign the directory:
7 % signtool -k MySignCert -Z testjar.jar signdir
