Abstract

The UI redressing attack and its variations have spread across several platforms, from web browsers to mobile systems. We study the fundamental problem underneath such attacks, and formulate a generic model called the container threat model. We believe that the attacks are caused by the system's failure to preserve visual integrity. From this angle, we study the existing countermeasures and propose a generic approach, Mediums framework, to develop a Trusted Display Base (TDB) to address this type of problems. We use the side channel to convey the lost visual information to users. From the access control perspective, we use the dynamic binding policy model to allow the server to enforce different restrictions based on different client-side scenarios.
