| sorry, what do you mean by "signing" an applet?

From the Java FAQ <http://www.afu.com/javafaq.html> Section 15:

"JDK 1.1 introduced the notion of a "trusted applet" which is one that has
been cryptographically signed to guarantee its origin and make it
tamper-resistant. Trusted applets can be granted more system access
privileges than untrusted applets."
