protecting (even naive) web users against spoofing and phishing

[Amir Herzberg]

We have created a Mozilla extension that creates a secure, Trusted Logo 
and Credentials Area, which displays logos and other credentials of the 
site. We believe this helps protect web users, even naive users, against 
spoofing and phishing attacks. We are still playing with the code but 
hope to begin providing it to others soon; in the meanwhile, if you are 
interested, we'll love to hear your comments. The proposal is described at:
