If you're looking to protect against DNS-cache poisoning and other
"pharming" attacks, there are some interesting tools out there.  We are
working on something, but have nothing to announce yet.  Here are a
couple links for you to check out:

http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/~herzbea/TrustBar/

Both attempt to augment SSL in more user friendly ways.

Is there a tool available that can validate that when I go to a secured website, I am actually going to the correct
