* Alarm bells ring! *

Quote When a web user visits a site the trusted notaries visit too. The data received by all those requesting data is compared and a warning given if there are discrepancies which suggest a user's traffic is being intercepted.

What if the so-called "notary" is also intercepted? What if the notary is intercepted and the user isn't?

This is fatally flawed from the start.

Best regards,
Vulcan.
