That's intentional in JDK 1.1, but the identity database will evolve
for JDK 1.2 to use X.509v3 certs, and to separate the notion of the
cert database from the Java runtime's internal notion of identities.

Also there will not be the trusted/untrusted attribute for an
identity. Permissions will be granted to a signer based on
externally configured policy. Permissions are fine-grained.
