Gmail's Authentication

Google announces they're rolling out their own version of anti-phishing protection - the super trustworthy, anti-phishing key . Unless you're a financial institution, you probably won't be able to get this for your own email for some time. But, at least you'll know it might be coming out of beta at some point.

From Brad Taylor, Gmail's Anti-spam Czar:

"Super trustworthy...means 1) the sender, usually a financial institution, is a target of phishers, (2) all of the sender's email is authenticated with DKIM, and (3) Gmail rejects any fake messages that claim to come from this sender, but actually don't."
