What is the most effective way to protect users against a compelled fake certificate attack? Since any CA can issue any cert and any US based CA could probably be compelled to issue a fake CA, how can we protect against this?

My initial thought would be to publish the certificate fingerprint on a website and encourage users to verify that what they have matches every now and then. But this is a huge hassle for users.

Are there any better ways?

Thanks!
Anthony
