Formally it does have to be signed.In practice, many MHP deployments run with security disabled. In this case applications work without signing.

As far as I know, SSL/TLS is mechanism for ensuring point to point secure communication. I wonder why MHP application probably needs to be signed if it uses SSL/TLS protocol? Maybe, you are talking about client side certification or mutual SSL ?

Yes I mean client side certification. I would like to establish SSL (mutual certification) connection with Sun Java Application Server and there is used keytool for generating certificates so I do not know whether this will work with MHP set-top box. I would appreciate any advise how to do it.

Which SSL package provider are you using? It is better to consult your SSL package provider and your JVM vendor to see whether they support this.

MHP 1.0 explicitly does not require SSL client authentication. This was rejected as being to complex.MHP 1.1 includes some possibility to support it via applications.

So for instance what would be the good solution for identification of the bank client. How can be the bank sure that the caller/set-top box is the owner of the account. Have you any idea.
