Abstract

As home computer users increase dependency on the Internet to complete electronic transactions, the need to resolve phishing vulnerabilities in the user interface becomes more urgent (Dhamija & Tygar, 2005a). Selected literature published between 2004 and 2007 is analyzed to provide designers and developers of anti-phishing applications with a set of fundamental user-centered design principles to consider prior to system design and technology solutions selection. The significance of anti-phishing user education is also examined. The author of this study is a recipient of the AIM Director's Distinguished Capstone Award.
