If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
technology, designed to be used with code that runs natively on the Microsoft
platform. Microsoft does not provide tools to develop in Java. If you want to
sign JAR files you need to look at your Java environment and see if it lets
you do it.. There is nothing on the Microsoft platform to run JAR files, and
hence, nothing to validate the signature. That would have to be done by the
Java Runtime you are writing for.
Your other option is to package your JAR file in a CAB and sign that, but I
don't see what that will do for you.
If you really want to make use of Authenticode, write in C# instead.

The results include tools to sign code with that may work for you.
