Approaches against Phishing can be classified into modifications of the traditional PIN/TAN-authentication on the one hand and approaches that try to reduce the probability of a scammer being successful without changing the existing PIN/TAN-method on the other hand. We present a new approach, based on challenge-response-authentication. Since our proposal does not require any new hardware on the...
