Trail: Security in Java 2 SDK 1.2
Lesson: Implementing Your Own Permission

## Steps for the HighScore Developer (Chris)

> The steps Chris would take, after creating the `HighScore` and `HighScorePermission` classes, are:

### Compile the Classes

>     javac HighScore*.java -d .

### Place the class files in a JAR File

>     jar cvf hs.jar com/scoredev/scores/HighScore*.class

### Create a Keystore and Keys for Signing

>     keytool -genkey -keystore chris.keystore -alias signJars

> Specify whatever you want for the passwords and distinguished name information.

### Sign the JAR File

>     jarsigner -keystore chris.keystore hs.jar signJars

### Export the Public Key Certificate

>     keytool -export -keystore chris.keystore
>         -alias signJars -file Chris.cer

### Supply Files and Information Needed by Game Developers and Users

> That is, supply them
> - the signed JAR File `hs.jar`,

> - the public key certificate file `Chris.cer`, and

> - information as to the permissions the `HighScore` and `HighScorePermission` classes must be granted in a policy file in order to work. For this, Chris could supply the exact grant entry needed.
