Description: This lesson illustrates the use of the security-related tools ( keytool, jarsigner, and Policy Tool). It also shows use of the jar tool to place files in JAR (Java ARchive) files for subsequent signing by the jarsigner tool.
In this lesson you first execute steps to create an application, put it in a JAR file, sign the JAR file, and export the public key certificate corresponding to the private key used to sign the JAR file. For convenience, you pretend to be Susan Jones, and you supply information about her when you generate the keys.
