No, the Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot is different. If you look at the very final photographs of both, you'll see that on the regular knot (tied either the standard way or the fast way) there's only a single vertical piece of lace right at the very front, but in the secure knot there are two.
1. Regular (tied in the fast way): http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm
2. Secure: http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm
Try the secure knot. It's basically like the bunny-ears way of tying a regular knot (where you hold both bunny-ears and slip one under the other), but you leave the hole open and slip the second back under the first as well.
It's much more secure than a double-knot, in my experience, and looks a lot nicer. But I still can't instinctually do it -- it takes me an extra couple of seconds each time.
