Ho do you prevent displaying cached page when the user has logged out but then pressed the back button?

You can even try it with this forum. Log in to the forum and go to the profile page. Pres logout and afterwords press back button on your browser. You will be brought back to the profile page that was cached by the browser. If it was a banking website designed that way and you used public computer to access your account, somebody could go and retrieve some important information.

How to avoid page caching by the browser?
