Signed Applet and certificat expiration

Hi,

My applet was signed with a Thawte certificat because it must access printers and TCP/IP layer.

It's running in a JRE 1.3.1.

The certifcate will soon expire.

What will happen ?

Will my applet still keep on running ?

Will I be able to renew my certificate once expired or must i do it before ?

Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem in that our company purchased a Verisign certificate last year that was renewed. However, you get a new certificate each year. The problem with this is that we have distributed tens of thousands of applets with one certificate that must now be replaced with a new certificate.

According to Verisign, this is a fault of Sun for not implementing timestamping within the JRE.

Is there a plan for timestamping signed certificates?
