Security Update 7-12-02 delivers a more secure Software Update service to verify that future updates originate from Apple. If you would prefer to download this manually from a secure Apple server you can download the package at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75304

I wonder what's involved in this update. Adding an authentication mechanism to Software Update is something I would have expected to take longer than three or four days.

But this is pretty damn quick turnaround, and I'm impressed.
