Unfortunately the JDK 1.1 signing and verification is not supported
by the web browsers (Netscape's and Microsoft's.) It is supported
in HotJava, http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava and appletviewer.

You can use the Java Activator in the browsers to get access to
more recent JDK technology, http://java.sun.com/products/activator
You should be able to use 1.1.x signed applets with the Activator
plugged into the browsers.

We are working with the Java licensees to get the standard Java
signing working for people in an interoperable way.
