If you need a secure connection your MIDlet can use HTTPS without
needing to be signed.  (Signing is usually used to bypass annoying
permission checks, and to enable access to restricted interfaces.)

You can also "roll your own" secure connection using, say, the
bouncycastle crypto libraries, but it doesn't sound like you need to
do this.
