Compliant Solution
The jarsigner
tool is used to digitally sign jar files. To do this, it uses key and certificate information from a keystore. This compliant solution shows how to sign the jar file that was generated in the noncompliant code example. The URL of the keystore kstore
follows the -keystore
flag. The -signedjar
option can be used to specify a different name for the signed archive to be generated. The private key associated with the alias user
, will be used to digitally sign the jar file.

Compliant Solution
If the program expects the user to manually install the new jar file, the user can explicitly check the signature from the command line. Any malicious tampering will lead to a SecurityException
when the jarsigner
tool is invoked with the -verify
option.
