afaict it was a fork of perspectives and perspectives is alive :) http://perspectives-project.org/ Perspectives is a new approach to helping computers communicate securely on the Internet. With Perspectives, public “network notary” servers regularly monitor the SSL certificates used by 100,000s+ websites to help your browser detect “man-in-the-middle” attacks without relying on certificate authorities. Because anyone can run a network notary server, you get to choose who you trust to validate SSL certificates, a powerful concept indeed!
