To sign an applet, you use keytool and jarsigner utilities.

First create a key alias using keytool. You use this alias to sign the applet using jarsigner.

keytool: The syntax you would use is as follows(replace myAlias to whatever you like):
keytool -genkey -alias myAlias The default password is changeit

jarsigner: Once you generated an alias, you can sign any jar file using jarsigner -storepass changeit myJarFile.jar myAlias
