But, you hit the nail on the head, if one cannot be trusted, then the whole paradigm is tainted.SKlebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019096269180273665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533875004410874344.post-1078451017898837602010-03-29T13:00:49.402-07:002010-03-29T13:00:49.402-07:00Interesting note about Wells Fargo's lack of e...Interesting note about Wells Fargo's lack of encryption -- my understanding was that most banks were encrypting all of their data points with EV SSL (I actually work for VeriSign as an online evangelist, so I follow this area fairly closely). Navigating to that page, it IS in https, and ends with "wellsfargo.com," so it's likely safe, but it certainly invites suspicion.<br /><br />Your hesitation towards trust marks is a slightly different issue, but I would take a look at VeriSign's new "VeriSign Trust Seal" before dismissing them entirely. Unlike other trust marks, it performs malware scans for websites on a daily basis in addition to providing authentication, adding an extra layer of security. I agree, though, that not all trust marks can be "trusted," which is a shame.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429072249486761590noreply@blogger.com
