Test-drive TrustBar anti-spoofing/phishing tool

[Amir Herzberg]

TrustBar is a Mozilla extension that appears as a bar at the top of 
every Mozilla browser window, containing site identification by 
name/logo of the site's owner and of the certifying authority (the 
entity that identified that owner of the site), or a warning `This site 
is not protected` for unprotected sites (where TrustBar cannot securely 
identify the owner). This should help protect users against spoofing and 
phishing attacks, which usually use unprotected sites which appear like 
the correct login sites.

We have been using our prototype personally for some time and it seems 
to work well on several platforms, so we now want to offer it to 
experienced, security-aware users, for feedback and improvements; our 
development is open code so you can also take our code as basis to your 
own design. Download and see more info at http://TrustBar.MozDev.org.
