Is there an independent body that certifies that a site uses good practices? I mean, I have no way of knowing whether a website is storing my password in the clear (unless they email my password to me), using a symmetric cypher, a site-wide salt, etc. It would be nice if a trustworthy party could investigate a site's security practices and certify that they are doing things properly.
