Prevent Phishing with Mutual Authentication Phishing is a man-in-the-middle attack.

This article demonstrates how to do that using open-source software from WiKID.

This does not work.  Almost all companies and schools use deep-packet-insepction firewalls; so you will never be able to log in from work or school with this, because the certificates will be wrong (which is a correct operation).

Look at CryptoPhoto - it's 100x faster than this idea, and works everywhere.
