Hello www-tag, Slashdot has picked up a paper from Communications of the ACM about URL spoofing using Unicode characters. Aparently a research team registered a domain name that looked like "microsoft.com" but used two cyrillic letters for "c" and "o". (Not sure how they would do that, since AFAIK domain names are still ascii). Anyway I thought that "security" aspect could be mentioned, perhaps, in charmod. http://slashdot.org/articles/02/05/28/0142248.shtml?tid=172 -- Chris mailto:chris@w3.orgReceived on Wednesday, 29 May 2002 11:25:27 UTC
