Hi,

I have found on the web after a long trip the good informations on a web site.
Each browser have a particular procedure to sign applets!). The sites below explain how to sign an applet with Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer and plug-in :

http://www.suitable.com/Doc_codeSigning.shtml (personal site which describe the procedures and give a lot of useful links).
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jozart/article/index.html
and the sites of Netscape, Microsoft.

For instance, I try to sign my applet without buying a certificate to a CA (It's quite expensive : $20 a year!), but I don't succeed. It is possible, but the process is a bit more complicated.

However, I have succeeded in signing my applet on the server with Internet Explorer. It's a good beginning !
