Self signed applets for internet

Hi,

Can we use a Self signed applet for commercial products? I have a simple applet but that applet needs to talk to local system so I have used keytool and generated the certificate and signed the jar file using jarsigner.

But I wanted to know if its legal to use a self signed applet in the commercial product.

Please give me your feedback.

Thanks

Mathew

Is it for grandma's old pc or for a company that has a (IT Admin) controlled environment.

If it's admin controlled you don't need to sign the applet at all as long as it comes form

one or two codebase(es)

If it's for grandma I think CA signing would look more provesional (not sure about the

legal issues there). Since you can't expect granny to have a descent policy in place.
