ICANN Comments on Homograph Spoofing.
2005-02-25, HostMan.biz The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (icann.org) issued a statement this week, airing its concerns about the vulnerability of certain Web browsers to homograph domain name spoofing that exploits international domain name resolution. Homograph domain name spoofing takes advantage of the resemblance of certain characters and symbols in the standard ASCII character set or characters from different languages. For example, the numeral "1" resembles the letter "l" in the ASCII character set. ICANN says it is concerned that the total number of characters made available for domain names will increase opportunities for character confusion, opening the door for more spoofing opportunities. However, the organization is also concerned that implementing countermeasures will unfairly place restrictions on the use and availability of international domain names. ICANN is requesting comment about homograph vulnerability and proposed countermeasures from the Internet community. |
