Abstract
Misuse of a trusted seal by a website is detected. Web browsing activities at a client are monitored. Upon detecting a website visited by the client, the client requests evaluation of the website by a security server. The security server replies with a reputation score indicating whether the website is trustworthy. If the website is not trustworthy, perceptual hashes of selected images in the website are computed and compared with perceptual hashes of known trusted seals. If there is a match between the hash of a website image and the hash of a seal image, a query is made as to whether the website is authorized to use the trusted seal. If the website is not authorized to use the seal, the website is reported to be misusing the trusted seal.
