  Description     : Iceweasel/Firefox extension to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks

Perspectives is a new approach to help clients securely identify 
Internet servers in order to avoid "man-in-the-middle" attacks. 
Perspectives is simple and cheap compared to existing approaches because 
it automatically builds a robust database of network identities using 
lightweight network probing by "network notaries" located in multiple 
vantage points across the Internet.

This package is an extension to Iceweasel/Firefox browser that contacts 
network notaries whenever your browser connects an HTTPS website.
