I have a suggestion regarding your signed applets example: reduce
the number of steps to zero. The hoops you require the user to go
through in order to register a certificate as trusted is obscene. You
need to create a way, via Plug-In, that the user is alerted of an
unknown certificate at the time the JAR is downloaded, and is given
the option to immediately accept or deny the certificate. All in
one shot, without any arcane requirements.The solution you have
provided in your example page above are non-starters... completely
impractical for the deployment of java applets under plug-in.
