Effective Approach to Detect Clickjacking Attacks
نویسنده
چکیده
Today’s world revolves around internet technologies. Numerous internet applications and services are available to the users to make life simpler. In this work, we propose to detect and prevent clickjacking attacks by means of establishing a trustworthy map between the user interface and the web application. This is accomplished by the exploitation of agents. There are three agents proposed in this paper. They are tracking agent, detection agent and action agent. The tracking agent checks for the count and the positional coordinates of the clickable controls and saves it in local memory. The detection agent compares the loaded webpage and the local memory with respect to the count of clickable controls and the positional coordinates. In case of mismatch, the action agent throws warning to the user. The main objective of this work is to provide a secure web application by means of a secure browser. The results of the proposed work are found to be satisfactory. Key terms:clickjack, agents.

He argue...
