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

First, the method compares the phishing URLs with legal ones to extract the features of phishing URLs. Then a machine learning algorithm is applied to obtain the URL classification model from the sample data set training. In order to adapt to the change of a phishing URL, the classification model should be constantly updated according to the new samples. So, an incremental learning algorithm based on the feedback of the original sample data set is designed. The experiments verify that the combination of the URL features extracted in this paper and the support vector machine （SVM） classification algorithm can achieve a high phishing detection accuracy, and the incremental learning algorithm is also effective.展开更多
