A long-promised technology for helping consumers verify the legitimacy of
commercial Web sites made its debut on the Internet Friday: Visit online
security company Entrust's login page with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7
Web browser and you'll notice that the address bar has turned from white to
green.

Entrust's site appears to be the first to feature what are being called
"extended validation certificates," a development that is equal
parts technology, process and collaboration. It comes in response to an
epidemic of phishing attacks, or online scams in which bad guys erect Web
sites that impersonate trusted e-commerce and banking sites in order to
trick users into revealing personal and financial data.

"EV certs," as they're known in the industry, are meant to serve
as a more user-friendly version of secure-sockets layer (SSL) certificates,
the digital placards long handed out by Entrust and other "certificate
authorities" that are meant to signify to consumers that they are on a
site that uses encryption technology. The goal is to assure visitors that
unauthorized third parties can't intercept user names, passwords, and other
sensitive data that consumers enter when shopping or banking online.
