Knowing who your email really comes from is one of the great security problems billions of recipients face daily. Cybercriminals commonly use brand impersonation as part of phishing campaigns to defraud victims of their data and cash. Which is why Google has announced the introduction of blue identity verification checkmarks for Gmail users on both iOS and Android platforms to help combat the social engineering issue.
At the same time, Google has also said that it will now start supporting a type of BIMI certificate issued by security certificate authorities, known as common mark certificates, which allow for “a broader range of senders to utilize BIMI, who might not have the registered trademark required for a Verified Mark Certificate.”
Google has stressed the importance of the both moves by explaining how such verified checkmarks add another layer of security to Gmail. Such strong authentication, it said, helps users to identify and stop more spam as well as enabling genuine senders to leverage their own brands and the trust people have in them. “This increases confidence in email sources and gives readers an immersive experience,” Google said, “creating a better email ecosystem for everyone.”over the coming days and weeks.
