<p>A method and system of displaying information indicators that help provide security assurances to consumers. The method works by having a plug-in or browser extension that determines the URL of a browsed to website. The browser then initiates a secure connection to the domain associated with the URL of a browsed-to website. The plug-in can then show an indicator based on whether or not a digital certificate exists. If desired, the plug-in can perform further checks to ensure the validity and authenticity of the certificate. The information indicators can be static, pre-selected by the program, or selected by the end user.</p> |
