Abstract
A computer-implemented method to provide a secure uniform resource locator (URL) shortening service is described. A URL is received via a browser provided on a display of a computing device. A shortened URL is generated to represent the received URL. A determination is made as to whether a classification assigned to a web site associated with the shortened URL is valid. Upon determining that the assigned classification is not valid, the web site is evaluated in order to assign an updated valid classification to the web site.
