Verify the JAR File Signature

Now that you, acting as Ruth, have imported Stan's public key certificate into the ruthstore keystore as a "trusted certificate," you can use the jarsigner tool to verify the authenticity of the JAR file signature.

When you verify a signed JAR file, you verify that the signature is valid and that the JAR file has not been tampered with. You can do this for the sContract.jar file via the following command:

jarsigner -verify -verbose -keystore ruthstore sContract.jar 

You should see something like the following:

       183 Fri Jul 31 10:49:54 PDT 1998 META-INF/SIGNLEGAL.SF
       1542 Fri Jul 31 10:49:54 PDT 1998 META-INF/SIGNLEGAL.DSA
       0 Fri Jul 31 10:49:18 PDT 1998 META-INF/
smk    1147 Wed Jul 29 16:06:12 PDT 1998 contract

 s = signature was verified 
 m = entry is listed in manifest
 k = at least one certificate was found in keystore
 i = at least one certificate was found in identity scope

jar verified.

Be sure to run the command with the -verbose option to get enough information to ensure that

• the contract file is among the files in the JAR file that were signed and its signature was verified (that's what the s signifies), and

• the public key used to verify the signature is in the specified keystore and thus trusted by you (that's what the k signifies).
