==INSTANT DETECTION OF A HOMOGLYPH ATTACK WHEN REVIEWING CODE IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240095348 titled 'INSTANT DETECTION OF A HOMOGLYPH ATTACK WHEN REVIEWING CODE IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a computer program product, system, and method for detecting homoglyph attacks in code reviewed in an augmented reality display. 

* Detection of homoglyph attacks in code reviewed in an augmented reality display
* Determination of non-coding script characters that are homoglyphs of coding script characters
* Transmission of information on homoglyph pairs to the augmented reality display for rendering

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Cybersecurity tools
* Code review platforms

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in:
* Identifying potential security vulnerabilities in code
* Preventing malicious attacks through homoglyphs

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Enhanced code review process
* Improved security measures in software development

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in:
* Software development companies

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be:
* Existing code review tools that focus on identifying vulnerabilities in code

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does this technology impact the efficiency of code review processes? ===
This technology can significantly improve the efficiency of code review processes by quickly identifying potential homoglyph attacks in the code, thus saving time and resources.

=== What are the limitations of this technology in detecting more complex homoglyph attacks? ===
While this technology is effective in detecting basic homoglyph attacks, it may have limitations in identifying more complex homoglyph patterns that are designed to evade detection. Further research and development may be needed to address these challenges.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

provided are a computer program product, system, and method for detection of a homoglyph attack in code reviewed in an augmented reality display. a determination is made whether a line of code of source code includes a non-coding script character in a non-coding script that is a homoglyph of a coding script character in a coding script as indicated in a homoglyph pair. valid statements in a computer language in which the source code is written are formed from characters in the coding script and not from characters in the non-coding script. in response to determining that the line of code includes the non-coding script character in the homoglyph pair, transmitting information on the homoglyph pair to cause the augmented reality display to render information on indication of the homoglyph.
