Actually you are in decent shape! You can just use
javakey to generate your own "first certificate" and take
care to store it carefully. Since you're doing a research
project there's no need for you to worry about establishing
a chain back to a Certificate Authority.

Note that JDK 1.1 doesn't support certificate chains. We are
aware of the need for certificate support in follow-on releases.
