This MessageDigest applet displays the computed SHA1 or MD5 digest of either a text string, or
any file, as both hex-encoded and base-64 encoded results.
The signed Java applet embedded in this web page was
timestamped
using JDK 5.0 jarsigner tool. (JAR contents)
The Certum Time-Stamping Authority was used.
The TSA certificate for this timestamp service is available here.
The security dialog, for JavaPlugin J2SE 5 only, now shows the timestamp status information.
Jarsigner verification indicates that a verifiable signature is included in the signature.
Typical signing/timestamp command:
jarsigner -storetype pkcs12 -keystore mystore.pfx -tsa "http://time.certum.pl" messagedigest.jar mykeyalias
