Title: Securing The Web Browser: Keeping The Phish In The Sea
Abstract:
This talk will outline, from the perspective of the KDE team, some of the
phishing and security related problems facing web browsers today as well as
some of the potential solutions we are investigating. For the first time in
over ten years web browser vendors have started communicating and working
together in a positive fashion to solve some of these problems, and we have
hope that some working solutions will emerge over the next 12-18 months.
Some of the areas of research include anti-phishing systems, spoof-proof
chrome, and changes to SSL and the trust mechanisms involved in SSL.
