Do u know wht a Digital Certificate is ... ?

When an online process needs to manipulate the resources at the computer of internet user, an exception will be raised and the operation will be failed.

Ex: File operations at the system of internet user will lead to failure of the process. Not just file operations, there r many more like this..mmmmm... accessing a resource from another server... using operating system procedures at the internet user etc ....

A Certificate can be issued at the internet user's computer.

Following is an image of a digital certificate created in java...



When any of the processes related to operations mentioned above (Processes which may fail accessing resources at internet user) are executed, a digital certificate will be shown to the internet user if available in the server. The processes will be completed successfully if the internet user accepts the certificate.

Verisign is one of the famous organizations that helps internet users to find out whether accepting digital cerificate is secured or not by certifying digital certificates.

U can find the local security settings at JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\security\java.policy
