This means it's not scalable across the Web. You'll see something similar on http://trustwatch.com - again, not scalable. Philip Hallam-Baker agreed with my last point and he's the Chief Scientist at VeriSign (who now own GeoTrust). We're very familiar with all other implementations of Trust and none of them will see mass adoption. This is the reason all the companies involved in the W3C POWDER (Content Labels) group agreed not to take out any patents. The W3C doesn't guarantee anything, but it certainly makes a massive difference. Steven – McAfee, like every other Trust Provider, use proprietary technology.

The image you have above is almost exactly what i get except they (McAfee) do it manually for now.
