Phishing Resistance

Phishing Resistance refers to security measures that prevent users from being deceived into revealing their credentials or authorizing malicious actions through fraudulent communications. In digital finance, phishing is a primary attack vector used to steal private keys or login credentials.

Resistance is achieved through technologies that cryptographically bind authentication sessions to the legitimate service, such as FIDO2-compliant security keys. It also involves education, user interface design that highlights the authenticity of a site, and robust authentication protocols that do not rely on user-entered codes.

By removing the possibility of a user being tricked into providing a secret, the system significantly hardens the security posture. It is a critical component of institutional and individual asset protection.
