The Firefox add-on was developed at the university's School of Computer Science and College of Engineering and is available for download here. According to the university, the Perspectives software not only protects Firefox users against attacks that might occur because of the recently disclosed software flaw in the DNS, but it also defends against some digital-certificate problems that crop up in everyday use.
