Service from a group at CMU that uses semi-trusted "notary" servers to periodically probe a web site to see which public key it uses. The notaries provide the list of keys used to you, so you can attempt to detect things like a site that has a different key for you than previously shown to all of the notaries. The idea is that to fool the system, the adversary has to compromise all links between the target site and the notaries all the time.
