Today in Brazil it is possible to talk of safe banks on internet.

Since September 24 Brazil create a new domain “B.BR” only for financial institutions to allow safe transactions for almost 30 miilions people that use “Internet Banking” in Brazil.

This is not a minor subject on an economy where 6,9 billions of online transaction occur every year, number that correspond to 17% of the total banking transaction of the country.

The extension “B.BR” is allowed only for those institutions that guarantee mayor levels of protection on their online systems to avoid any virtual fraud. The new web sites under “B.BR” will be protected by a new identification system called DNSSEC capable of recognizing and validating the authenticity of every web page before a user goes inside.

Whit this new domain in Brazil users will be safe about their transaction if the Bank’s web site ends with “B.BR”. Today some banks already are using this new safe domain link eBradesco (www.bradesco.b.br ) that offers a safe web site avoiding very common frauds like phishing.

It could be very interesting that other countries adopt this alliance between critical transactions and safe domains to protect the internet integrity as a total.
