Voice and Face Recognition for Web Browser Security

This paper analysis about browser privacy multimodal authentication mechanisms. Face and voice recognition will be used as authentication methods in this process. The OpenCV library is used in the framework's face recognition section. It detects and recognizes faces from a database using basic eigen face recognition approaches. The MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients) and Gaussian Mixture Model are used to recognize voices. Following successful authentication, the cookies on the local hard disc are decrypted, allowing us access to the browser cookies. Initially, after a user registers, we will encrypt the browser cookies with AES, one of the most secure encryption methods available. keywords: MFCC, Gaussian Mixture Model, Browser cookies, authentication, AES, encryption, decryption, Open CV, Eigen.

Browser Security Attacks and Detection Techniques: A Case of Tabnabbing

Phishing is a malicious and deliberate act of sending counterfeit messages or mimicking a webpage. The goal is either to steal sensitive credentials like login information and credit card details or to install malware on a victim’s machine. Browser-based cyber threats have become one of the biggest concerns in networked architectures. The most prolific form of browser attack is tabnabbing which happens in inactive browser tabs. In a tabnabbing attack, a fake page disguises itself as a genuine page to steal data. This paper presents a multi agent based tabnabbing detection technique. The method detects heuristic changes in a webpage when a tabnabbing attack happens and give a warning to the user. Experimental results show that the method performs better when compared with state of the art tabnabbing detection techniques.
