Abstract
A method for inhibiting phishing can include sending information from a mobile network device to a website server, generating a one time password at the mobile network device from the information, generating a one time password at the website server from the information, sending the one time password generated at the website server to the mobile network device when the mobile network device subsequently accesses the website, and comparing the one time password generated at the website server to the one time password generated at the mobile network device. In this manner, the website can be authenticated such that the occurrence of phishing is substantially mitigated.
