Hi security community, this is my first publication I post on Bugtraq, so please be patient with me. Since the recent problems with IDN, I wanted to clear up my thoughts on homograph attacks, so I sorted everything in an article which also contains what I believe to be an easy and general solution. You can find it here: http://www.amalthea.de/publications/homograph.pdf Unfortunately, my free time is currently limited, so I may not be able to participate too much in any discussions on the subject. My appologies for that. But I will definitely read any feedback I receive. Michael Roitzsch
