I think this is an interesting idea, but aside from getting users to install something and cross-platform issues there's a huge problem with doing this... The user's computer itself. I've come to the reluctant conclusion that users' computers are the major part of this problem. Computer-security as most people practice it is woefully-inadequate, so the solution has to be something that's physically not a part of their (insecure) computers, IMO.
