The size of the Duke certificate is 511 bytes even though I'm getting it
from
ftp.javasoft.com/docs/security/signExample.
Is the prblm is with the certificate itself ?

The Duke certificate you have probably has extra nulls at the end.
Please check the size - it should be 508 bytes.
If the size is different then please try another method (e.g. ftp)
to download the certificate.
