This paper presents an approach to embedding sophisticated phishing detection within a password manager’s framework, called PhishGuard. PhishGuard uses a Large Language Model (LLM), specifically a fine-tuned BERT algorithm that works in real time, where URLs fed by the user in the credentials are analyzed and authenticated. This approach enhances user security with its provision of real-time protection from phishing attempts. Through rigorous testing, this paper illustrates how PhishGuard has scored well in tests that measure accuracy, precision, recall, and false positive rates.展开更多

However, some of these protocols are vulnerable to conventional attacks or have low efficiency so that they cannot be applied to mobile applications. In this paper, we proposed a password-authenticated multiple key exchange protocol for mobile applications using elliptic curve cryptosystem. The proposed protocol can achieve efficiency, reliability, flexibility and scalability at the same time. Compared with related works, the proposed protocol is more suitable and practical for mobile applications.展开更多

Its hardware includes the card reading module, the wireless digital transmission module, the LCD module, the random password keyboard module and a 16×16 lattice word database based on e-Flash MM36SB020. Its software is a communication protocol between the central control computer and the entrance management base station. To resolve the conflicting problems occurred during the data transmission, a method of delaying time at random is proposed.展开更多

In battlefield communication systems, ground soldiers, tanks, and unmanned aerial vehicles comprise a heterogeneous MANET. In 2006, Byun et al. proposed the first constant-round password-based group key ex- change with different passwords for such net- works. In 2008, Nam et al. discovered the short- comings of the scheme, and modified it. But the works only provide the group key. In this paper, we propose a password-based secure communication scheme for the loT, which could be applied in the battlefield communication systems and support dy- namic group, in which the nodes join or leave. By performing the scheme, the nodes in the heteroge- neous MANET can realize secure broadcast, secure unicast, and secure direct communication across realms. After the analyses, we demonstrate that the scheme is secure and efficient.展开更多

In this paper, we investigated the patterns and vulnerabilities for both web and mobile applications based on conditions of the Shannon entropy, Guessing entropy and Minimum entropy. We show how to substantially improve upon the strength of passwords based on the analysis of text-password entropies. By analyzing the passwords datasets of Rockyou and 163.com, we believe strong password can be designed based on good usability, deployability, rememberbility, and security entropies.展开更多
