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.
