Abstract
Systems and methods for use with a client device and a server provide interactive phishing detection at the initiation of the user. Detection of phishing is based on the user's comparison of a visual indicator sent from the server to the client device with a another identical looking visual indicator displayed, for example, on a trusted website. Several security measures may be employed such as changing the visual indicator periodically, generating the visual indicator in a random manner, and authenticating the client device to the server before the server will transmit the visual indicator to the client device. User comparison of the website-displayed visual indicator with the user's client device user interface-displayed visual indicator may facilitate user verification of authenticity of a software application.
