Abstract:
Disclosed herein is technology that detects potentially deceptive URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of a homograph attack (e.g., an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) homograph attack). In one or more implementations, the detection may be accomplished, at least in part, by assessing the likelihood that all of the characters in the URI (e.g., domain name) were typed on a keyboard using a single keyboard map. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
