Dear Web Security group members, I have recently written up a proposal on how to stop (https) Phishing, which has grown 6 fold in the past year according to the Anti Phishing Working Group, and a lot more according to Symantec researchers I talked to recently. I am looking into this as part of my PhD at Southampton, which is a mix between Web Science, Cybersecurity and Social Machines. Bringing these fields together opens up as I believe you will see reading this, new ways of thinking of problems that have been dogging us for a while. https://medium.com/cybersoton/stopping-https-phishing-42226ca9e7d9 There is also a response to a couple of questions by Ben Laurie on Twitter where I go into a bit more detail on how this solves the UI part of the problem. https://medium.com/cybersoton/stopping-https-phishing-42226ca9e7d9 I am very keen to hear your feedback on this. As TPAC will be in Lyon which is a reasonable distance from where I live I may be able to make it there to talk about improvements on this proposal following your feedback. Sincerely, Henry Story
