WSJ: Computer Security Efforts Intensify
Wall St. Journal reporters Don Clark and Nick Wingfeld report (subscription reqd) on new techniques to verify online the identity of companies and computer users.
PassMark Security, a start-up funded by former Intuit CEO Bill Harris, Monday is announcing a different approach that uses images to help identify legitimate Web sites.

If they don't see the right image, users would know something is awry.
