Hi Lucy,
Please have a look at http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Interviews/DigitalSigs/
In a few words using a digital signature does not mean that your document is encrypted, it's just a guarantee that your document has not been altered.

Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the process of protecting data from unauthorized use or users. Simply put, it means that only the intended recipient of a message can make sense of it. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2000/jw-0428-security_p.html

I believe sealing means the content has not been altered and nothing has been added to it. The idea comes from sealing an envelope and posting it.

For security, "Beginning Java Networking" from WROX (Chad Darby, et al) will give you everything you need and then some. On design patterns, there's no better than to take a deep breath, and plunge into the classic "Design Patterns" from the GoF (skip the first part, tho.) Here's another...The Design Patterns Java Companion

Doug (SCEA part one, complete)

I agree with you advice of reading Design Patterns. But I disagree on your advice on skipping the first part. The first chapter is one of the best pieces ever written on OOP. Definitely a must read.
