Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a method and system for verifying intended contents of an electronic message comprising: accessing an electronic message destined for a recipient comprising a link to an intended data source. The method further includes accessing the intended data source and computing a first message digest value associated with the intended data source. Additionally, the method includes sending the electronic message and the first message digest value to the recipient. The recipient side may check the message digest value against a recently generated value and alert the recipient of any digest mismatch that represents a recent change in the intended data source.
