Without any assurance of the software’s integrity and without knowing who published the software, it is difficult for customers to know how much to trust software downloaded from the Internet. The solution to these issues is Sun Java signing coupled with Code Signing Certificates.
Used with the Signing tools part of the Sun Java SDK, this certificate is used for generating digital signatures for Java Archive (JAR) files: Java applets, midlets and other Java applications that may be deployed stand-alone or in the IE or Netscape browsers.
Note: Minimum Version Requirement: Please see the following Sun Alert for minimum version requirements for the Sun Java SDK (Software Developer Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
Object signing, through the use of digital signatures, enables software developers to include information about themselves and their code with their programs.
When customers download software signed with a Code Signing Certificate for Sun java Signing, they can be assured of:
- Content Source - The software really comes from the publisher who signed it.
- Content Integrity - The software has not been altered or corrupted since it was signed.
Users benefit from this software accountability because they know who published the software, and they know the code has not been tampered with.
