Clickjacking

Abstract

This is an era of digital globalization. With the widening of IT, there is an enormous increase in the number of users on social media networks. The downside of this is that the integrity and confidentiality of the user data are at risk. Clickjacking is one such type of threat and is gaining popularity worldwide. Clickjacking is a widespread attack these days, in which the user click is hijacked in order to perform some action of hacker’s interest. Click jacking is possible when multiple applications and websites share the same graphical display. The target page is constructed to lure the victim to click on an object. The click action is made to land on some other object and hence used to perform an action that the victim did not intended. In this work various attack methods such as compromising target display integrity, pointer integrity, temporal integrity and exploiting human perception system have been analyzed and addressed for overcoming clickjacking.
