Another concept...

It should be possible to use multisig wallets to protect against =
malware.  For example, a user could generate a wallet with 3 keys and =
require a transaction that has been signed by 2 of those keys.  One key =
is placed in cold storage and anther sent to a third-party.

It is now possible to generate and sign transactions on the users =
computer and send this signed transaction to the third-party for the =
second signature.  This now permits the use of out of band transaction =
verification techniques before the third party signs the transaction and =
sends to the blockchain.

If the third-party is malicious or becomes compromised they would not =
have the ability to complete transactions as they only have one private =
key.  If the third-party disappeared, the user could use the key in cold =
storage to sign transactions and send funds to a new wallet.
