摘要：Phishing is a type of attack in which the attackers lure the users to submit their personal information like passwords, credit card details etc. Passwords and security are a perennial problem we all face when using the Internets. There are various solutions, but none of them are perfect. Even the strongest encryption technologies available for common use could be broken given enough computer power or just simple luck on the part of a hacker. But, that doesn’t stop computer scientists from trying to come up with new ways to make us electronically safe. So, an authentication protocol namely, Delayed Password Disclosure is designed. The protocol’s goal is aimed at reducing the effectiveness of phishing/spoofing attacks that are becoming increasingly problematic for Internet users. It does provide a user with the tools necessary to recognize an ongoing phishing attack, and prevent the disclosure of his/her entire password, providing graceful security degradation.
