==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 17932649 titled 'INSTANT DETECTION OF A HOMOGLYPH ATTACK WHEN REVIEWING CODE IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY'

===Simplified Explanation===

The patent application describes a system for detecting homoglyph attacks in code reviewed in an augmented reality display. Here is a simplified explanation of the innovation:

* Detection of homoglyph attacks in code reviewed in augmented reality display
* Determines if a line of code includes a non-coding script character that is a homoglyph of a coding script character
* Transmits information on the homoglyph pair to the augmented reality display for rendering

---

===Potential Applications===
* The technology can be applied in software development environments to enhance code review processes by detecting potential homoglyph attacks.

===Problems Solved===
* Detection of homoglyph attacks in code, which can be used to prevent security vulnerabilities.
* Improving the accuracy of code review processes by highlighting potential issues related to homoglyph characters.

===Benefits===
* Enhanced security in software development by identifying potential homoglyph attacks.
* Increased efficiency in code review processes by automating the detection of homoglyph characters.

===Potential Commercial Applications===
* "Enhancing Code Review Processes with Homoglyph Attack Detection Technology"

===Possible Prior Art===
* There are existing technologies for detecting homoglyph attacks in text-based communications, but the specific application of this technology in code review processes using augmented reality displays may be novel.

---

===Unanswered Questions===

====How does the system differentiate between coding and non-coding script characters?====
* The system likely uses predefined sets of coding and non-coding script characters to make this determination, but the exact method is not specified in the abstract.

====What types of coding languages are supported by the system?====
* The abstract does not mention specific coding languages, so it is unclear if the system is designed to work with a wide range of programming languages or if it is tailored to specific languages.

==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.
