Phishing attack prediction by smart mobile devices

Abstract

In recent times, phishing is a wide spread technique to steal user’s authentication information, especially password. The key issue is that it is difficult for user to differentiate fake Login User Interface from normal login. This paper presents a unique method to predict phishing by smart device. In our technique, a smart device pre-stores feature information of Login User Interface. Before entering authentication information, a plug-in of Web browser at host side will verify the validation of Login Inter face according to pre-stored Login Interface information. Wi-Fi provides a communication channel between the plug-in and the smart device. Furthermore, the smart device can automatically fill the field of user id and password to the Login User Interface if Login User Interface passes the verification of smart mobile device. Compared with other solutions, this solution cans greatly improve the security of authentication.
