Browser Rivals Unite for Security
View at Techtree.com
Core KDE developer George Staikos recently hosted a meeting of the security developers from the leading web browsers - Internet Explorer, Mozilla/Firefox and Opera.
The aim was to come up with future plans, to combat the security risks posed by phishing, ageing encryption ciphers and inconsistent SSL Certificate practice.
They addressed issues in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as implemented in the web browsers, and thought of ways to make the information presented to the user more meaningful, easier to recognize, easier to understand, and a way to make a distinction for high-impact sites (banks, payment services, auction sites, etc) while retaining the accessibility of SSL and identity for smaller organizations.
