[0018]

FIG. 2 to FIG. 15 show an example of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, parts denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 represent the same parts. The feature is that, as shown in FIG.
aApplet) on the “spoofing” website (W
(e.g., ebSite), the spoofing occurrence is automatically notified to the mail server of the true website owner by e-mail.

Next, the operation of the above illustrated example will be described.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an impersonation homepage check system illustrating the present invention. The user terminal 1 is connected to the central processing center 2 via a facsimile or the Internet network 9. The central processing center 2 is also connected to a plurality of information providing servers 7 via the Internet network 9. In this case, the user terminal may be a dial-up connection, or may be connected to the Internet network 9 via a router at a line speed of about T2, and is illustrated on behalf of a plurality of user terminals. Thereby, digital information can be mutually transmitted and received among the user terminal 1, the central processing center 2, and the information providing server 7. In this case, the user terminal 1 can transmit and receive information from the information providing server 7 and search and introduce necessary information. In one embodiment of the present invention, the Internet technology using the TCP / IP protocol is used. However, any protocol that can be connected to the Internet regardless of this does not impede other specifications.

The server 5 of the central processing center 2 in FIG.
A homepage server device for transmitting a homepage recorded in the server to the Internet 9 is inherent. In addition to the homepage server device, there are provided registered black-and-white files 5a and 5b, a URL registrar 6 such as JPNIC, existence check information 5f such as telephone directory data, a danger term dictionary 5c, and a financial term dictionary 5b. And a central processing unit 4 for recording and managing the information. Here, the central processing unit 4 includes a collection homepage synthesizing unit 4a, an existing registered black / white file checking unit 4b, a requester domain name checking unit 4c, a JP
The system is provided with an institution information check processing means 4d and a checked information report processing means 4e, such as NICs, and various "spoofing" check methods can be executed by the following procedure using this system.

As an example of the method of the present invention, in the user terminal 1 connected to the Internet 9 shown in FIG. 2, first, a search engine serving as a collecting means for searching and collecting homepage information of a plurality of websites, for example, a product of Microsoft Corporation Software generally called a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Browser of Netscape can be used. YAHOO, MSN, inf on the Internet from this collection means
The name of the business partner or the name of the business partner can be entered in the keyword box on the screen by using "oseek,""goo" or "Excite". Next, when the server 5 receives the search result, the collection HP combination processing means 4a connected to the central processing unit 4 can collect the searched homepage in the server 5. In addition, it is possible to execute a sorting process of rearranging the homepage searched by the corresponding company name or product name using each domain name. Furthermore, it is possible to execute a process of creating a combined file that is arranged and combined so as to eliminate a file whose content is duplicated in the sorted homepage information and to make it a single file.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the spoofing HP check system in the initial state does not accumulate black-and-white data. Therefore, the domain name of the requester is compared with the retrieved and collected homepage information and whether or not the two match. A process is performed to determine whether In this case, the check of the data of the synthesized file described above is omitted, but does not affect the effect of finding the “spoofing” website. In other words, in the second and subsequent processes, at least the “black-and-white determination file” created at the first time can be used.
It can be determined whether the data matches the domain name of the data. The information in the combined file can be used to compare each domain name of the homepage combined by the requester domain name check processing means 4c with the requester domain name and determine whether or not the two match. . In this case, the homepage information in the composite file that matches the requester domain name is determined to be “white”, and the website is in a normal use state. This homepage information can be registered and stored in the white file 5a. It goes without saying that other equivalent devices can be used for the white file 5a in the magnetic disk device and the optical disk device as long as digital information can be recorded and reproduced. Also, the homepage information in the synthesized file that does not match the client domain name can branch to the next process. Here, the digital information is stored in the storage area of the homepage server in the center server 6 as undetermined information in which the black and white are not clear. Can be stored as Note that the illustrated white file 5a and black file 5b and unillustrated undecided files may be stored in physically independent disk devices or may be stored in partitions in a shared disk device, or may be stored in a shared disk device. Needless to say, each folder name may be used for distinction and stored.

The central processing unit 4 can execute an additional black and white judgment on the undecided file in the following processing. That is, JP
Whether or not it matches the attribute of the registered contents of the URL registration institution 6 such as NIC or ICANN can be processed by the institution information checking means 4d such as JPNIC. JPN
As a result of the registered content consistency check such as an IC, the homepage information in the undecided file whose attribute is determined to match the registered content of the URL registrar 6 such as JPNIC is determined to be “white” and registered in the above-described white file 5a. Can be memorized. On the other hand, the homepage information in the undecided file whose attribute does not match the registered content of the registrar is further examined by the automatic judgment processing means 4e in accordance with the existence confirmation information 5f such as telephone directory data. , "Whether or not the URL is a branch URL", and "Whether or not the company attribute differs from the existence confirmation information" can be automatically executed. In the data of this processing result, in addition to the company name and the match / difference determination information, the existence confirmation status of the comparison result based on the telephone directory data, for example, the company name, telephone number, address, representative, and other information are additionally stored. Is done. In addition, this automatic processing generally belongs to a non-client procedure and can be executed without an instruction from an operator. However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the automatic processing, "whether or not the company names match", " It is also possible to have the operator instruct interactively with the center server 5 three types of verification, that is, whether the URL is a branch URL or not, and whether the company attribute differs from the existence confirmation information. Then, as an example of the existence confirmation information 5f, there are telephone directory corporate data, map information, land, building, company corporate register, and the like.
East and West NTT database, company information, trademark in IPL database IPL, trademark on homepage, G
An IF file, a DrBell file, and the like exist, and information serving as a basis for obtaining more accurate information on a target company name and a product name from the check target 3 to be verified is collected into a single center server 5. Can be built. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, since a trademark search system capable of searching for a trademark posted on a homepage is provided, the user enjoys providing search results from the user terminal 1 via the Internet. be able to.

The above-described automatic determination process can be executed also on the registered white file 5a after performing the requester domain name consistency check and the registered content consistency check such as JPNIC. As a result of the automatic judgment processing by the existence check information check, if the automatic judgment has already been performed, the central processing center 1 performs the processing with “judgment; black” and a series of “judgment status”, “judgment date”, “time” ,as well as,
“Presence status” can be registered and stored in the black file 5b. In addition, homepage check requester 1
0 or related institutions 8 such as the Fair Trade Commission or arbitration institutions
These black file data can be automatically transmitted by e-mail to the mail server.

On the other hand, the homepage information which has not been determined by the automatic determination can be additionally determined by manual visual inspection. The homepage information of the website determined as white by the visual inspection can be registered and stored in the white file 5a. On the other hand, the homepage information of the web site manually determined to be black can be registered and stored in the black file 5b, similarly to the automatically determined information. In this case, the electronic mail can also be automatically transmitted to the check requester 1 or the mail server of the related organization 8 for the information of the black determination. However, although e-mail is used as a part of the embodiment of the present invention, if the check requester 1 or the related organization 8 dislikes electronic mail, for example, registered mail or facsimile from the electronic delivery system performed by the Patent Office. Some requesters do not use e-mail because the e-mailed person can save the trouble of printing. In this case, it goes without saying that the effect of the present invention is not affected at all by changing to a means for automatically sending facsimile data instead of e-mail or sending mail by E-MAIL reception of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

The white file and the black file obtained in the embodiment of the present invention serve as basic data for a black-and-white file and domain name consistency check in the subsequent processing.

In the above embodiment, based on the consistency of the domain name of the website found using the search engine and the presence or absence of infringement of the trademark function, the fraudulent act of pretending to be a company with high creditworthiness and opening a homepage Although the user is identified, the impersonation homepage is left untouched from the time the improper user causing free trade of the credit and causing the trademark dilution starts impersonating until the present invention is implemented, and the impersonation homepage is left untouched, e-commerce Will be detrimental to safety.
The inventor discloses a second embodiment here. In other words, a program that prevents unauthorized use such as "spoofing" is included in the homepage information stored in the server device of the homepage of a well-known company or the homepage of a portal site. When the connection status is reached, the spoofed victim can be notified by e-mail. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a reporting system for an unauthorized use website exemplifying the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a website 20 of Company A that is likely to plagiarize business credit.
And the personal computer 22 used by a person who intends to impersonate the homepage, and the homepage information of the company A downloaded to the personal computer 22 is stored and falsified or the personal computer 22 is used to download the homepage information of the company A from the personal computer 22. A homepage server 24 of the web site of Company A 'receiving “spoofing” to be uploaded and a manager 26 of the web site of Company A receiving notification of spoofing damage are shown. When the homepage server device of the present invention is used,
The netsurfer who visited the website of Company A uses the Java Applet stored in the homepage of website 20 to display on the screen of a personal computer used by the netsurfer that "this site is a legitimate site". You can see the display. For this reason, since it can be easily distinguished from the counterfeit site in the electronic commerce scene, the net surfer can acquire the desired product with ease. This is because the Java applet stored in the homepage operated in the web site 20 is started periodically at intervals of 10 minutes to one day, thereby referring to the IP address of the homepage in which the Java applet is stored. Then, as a result of comparison with the IP address stored in advance, it is possible to verify whether or not the server is operated by a legitimate server. This IP address is used as an identification code unique to a homepage server in the Internet technology, and at present, a server of the whole world can be identified by a 32-bit code. Therefore, an individual identification number is also assigned to the website 20 of the company A, which is a homepage server connected to the Internet. The central processing unit 4 in the server reads the identification code unique to the homepage server, for example, one or both of the IP address and the subnet mask from the server of the company A's website 20 and stores the Java applet as the homepage information storage area. It can be compared with predetermined information of an IP address or a subnet mask stored in advance in a program area to be stored or an area in which an HTML language for storing homepage information is described. Then, when the middle processing device 4 for comparison outputs the coincidence information, it can be determined that the homepage is for regular use. On the other hand, when the homepage information of the company A that has been maliciously tampered with the personal computer 22 is uploaded to the homepage of the web site 24 of the company A ', the Java applet is activated and the web site 24 is activated.
The code of the IP address or the subnet mask is read out from the server of the server, and the IP address or the subnet mask stored in advance in the program area for storing the Java applet, which is the homepage information storage area, or the HTML language for storing the homepage information is described. It can be compared with predetermined information. In this case, the Java applet can recognize the fact that the processing is being executed at a website different from the regular IP address or the subnet mask by the fact that the comparison result outputs mismatch information. As described above, when the Java applet determines that the homepage is illegally used, when the homepage server of the web site 24 of the company A 'is connected to the Internet, the result of the determination of the unauthorized use is obtained from the webpage-related information, such as IP Along with the address, the subnet mask, the domain name, and the like, the mail can be automatically distributed to the administrator 26 of the website of the company A, which is the authorized homepage owner, using an electronic mail. This automatic notification means can use a commonly used hyperlink technology or a unique mailing system. In the present embodiment, an e-mail is used. However, any means for notifying the administrator of the website of Company A of the fact of unauthorized use can use the above-described postal system by facsimile transfer or e-mail order. Needless to say. In addition, when the Java applet determines that unauthorized use has occurred, an alert such as "This site is unauthorized use" can be displayed on the homepage of the A 'company website. Therefore, it is possible to judge at a glance that the web site 24 of the company A ', which is the "spoofing" site accessed by the netsurfer using the search engine, is a fake, and the security of the electronic commerce can be secured. it can. However, in order to confirm whether the falsified information is displayed as intended on the website 24 of Company A ', the malicious tampering person accesses the website 24 and checks the display state of the homepage. Therefore, it is also possible to use only the above-described automatic notification means using an e-mail or the like without displaying a warning such as "this site is illegally used" exemplified in the present invention. In this case, the administrator 26 of the company A's website that has received the notification immediately sends the website of company A '
You can check the status of "spoofing" by accessing the homepage of No.4. In this case, since an e-mail address for contacting a malicious tampering person is generally displayed or hyperlinked on the spoofing homepage, a warning letter can be transmitted to that address. In the present embodiment, the automatic notifying unit notifies the administrator 26. However, in the case of a homepage expressing works such as paintings, artworks, and texts in addition to electronic commerce, the automatic notification is directly notified to the copyright holder. Email can be sent from the means. Furthermore, it goes without saying that automatic notification can also be made to mail servers of public institutions such as the Fair Trade Commission.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of software exemplifying the present invention. In the upper part of FIG. 4, a home page 30 being created by Company A and a completed home page 32 already being used are illustrated. The lower part of FIG. 4 shows a state in which the exemplified homepages 30 and 32 are stored in the homepage server of the WWW server 34. The homepage 36 can store four agents, that is, Java applets, so as to be embedded therein, and the homepage is open to the world 38 online. A first cooperative program and a second cooperative program, which exemplify the present invention, will be described as A and B, respectively. These cooperative programs can change the comparison result of the above-mentioned comparison means from a regular signal to a signal of unauthorized use. By embedding at least two agents, it is effective when a malicious tampering person finds an unauthorized use prevention function program and deletes the agent of A. That is, since the agent of B remains without being found on the homepage 36 of the website of the company A ', the agent of the second cooperative program, the agent of B, searches for the agent of A at the stage of uploading to the homepage server. Beginning, result A
If it is determined that this agent has been deleted, the determination result of the above-described determination means can be changed from regular to unauthorized use. These agents can be downloaded without limitation to the personal computer 22 that has downloaded the homepage 36 and can be stored in the personal computer 22.
2 is software that can be uploaded to the homepage server. Although the personal computer 22 is slightly different from the homepage server in a strict sense, the personal computer 22 technically has the function of a homepage server for distributing homepage information when viewed from the website 24 of Company A '. In this sense, unless the personal computer 22 is restricted from being accessed by an intranet management system such as a gateway or a proxy server, the personal computer 22 operates at the stage where the falsified “spoofing” homepage information is connected to the Internet and the agent functions to prevent unauthorized use. The fact can be reported to the company A web administrator 26 through the reporting means. In this embodiment, the first cooperative program has been described as the agent of A and the second cooperative program has been described as the agent of B. However, it is needless to say that the reverse configuration does not affect the effect of the present invention. Not even.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of software exemplifying the present invention. The relationship between the agents A, B, C, and X stored in the home page of the www server 34 can detect the impersonation of the home page while exchanging messages with each other. Since there is a possibility that a malicious tampering person may find and delete the spoofing prevention function program, each agent operates to periodically determine whether or not another agent has been deleted. After confirming that the other agents A, B, and C have not been deleted, the agent X shown in the figure has a conditional Java applet or GIF encoder so that the name of the sunflower company or the graphic trademark 40 is displayed on the homepage. Can function as FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of software exemplifying the present invention. This shows the configuration of the remaining agents when a malicious alterator discovers and deletes the agent C. Agent X exchanges messages with agent A and agent B, but as a result of the search, cannot exchange messages with agent C. The agent X can determine that the agent of C has been deleted and prohibit the display of the above-mentioned company name of Himawari Information Company and the graphic trademark of Himawari Information Company on the homepage. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a software block diagram illustrating the present invention. Since the agents A, B, C, and X are all confirmed to be stored in the homepage information by the message exchange between the agents, all the agents do not send instructions to the carry. In this embodiment, the carry corresponds to a supervisor of an operating system that manages a homepage. The instruction is a code for reporting the fact of unauthorized use. This code is information for inhibiting the above-described Java applet or GIF encoding. FIG. 8 is a software block diagram illustrating the present invention. Agents A, B, and X cannot exchange messages with C's agent because C's agent was discovered and deleted by a malicious tamper. Therefore, all of the remaining three agents A, B, and X can transmit a command to regulate the encoding of the Java applet or the GIF to the carry. FIG. 9 is a software block diagram illustrating the present invention. The agents A, B, C, and X can periodically refer to the currently stored IP address of the homepage server, for example, IP1, and determine whether or not they match the initially programmed reference code. Since the illustrated IP1 matches the initial reference code, agents A, B, C and X
Does not transmit the prohibition command to Carry, so that the above-mentioned company name and graphic trademark can be displayed on the homepage. On the other hand, FIG. 10 shows a configuration in which a home page is copied and uploaded to another home page server. FIG. 10 is a software block diagram illustrating the present invention. This aspect is the operation of each agent in the impersonation site during unauthorized use. That is, agent A,
B, C, and X can acquire IP2 by referring to the IP address of the homepage server of the spoofing site. Since the IP address of the initially programmed reference code is IP1, the IP2 currently acquired is Is clearly different. Therefore, each agent A, B,
C and X can send a control command to Carry, and can control the display process of a true company name or graphic trademark. FIG. 11 is a software block diagram illustrating the present invention. When the carry 42 receives the command from the agent, the current “year / month / day / hour / minute / second”, the “IP address” and “domain name” of the spoofing site, and the “event contents” of any of the agent missing or the change of the IP address are stored in A. This can be automatically notified to the administrator 26 of the company's web site via e-mail. In the present embodiment, the IP address can be implemented with a full path IP address, a global address, or a subnet mask.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of an alarm flow illustrating the present invention. FIG. 12 shows a GIF screen 44 downloaded from a part of the display screen of the homepage of the sunflower information corresponding to the company A and processed by a maliciously tampered or diverted person.
A falsified person, etc. processes information on an illegally used website and then uses a file transfer program such as FTP to execute A
'After uploading to the company's homepage server 48, if a well-meaning netsurfer accesses the homepage server 48, the GIF of the original sunflower information
Image 44 is the missing GIF image 5 missing from the homepage
In addition to being displayed as 0, an alarm mail can be automatically transmitted via a mail server to a personal computer 52 owned by a web administrator of Company A, for example, Kenichiro Imai. In other words, even if the person who misuses intentionally wants to display the trademark of Company A on the spoofing site, the embodiment of the present invention can regulate the display of the original trademark. In addition, it is possible to take legal action early to warn trademark owners of the appearance of spoofing sites so as not to leave the spoofing site while ensuring the safety of commerce even with good intentional Internet surfers This is a technology that can ensure the justice and fairness of the e-commerce society. In the present embodiment, each agent exchanges messages. However, the following agent configuration does not affect the effects of the invention in place of the message exchange which is a part of the configuration requirements of the present invention. In this embodiment, the electronic mail is sent to Kenichiro Imai's personal computer 52. However, there are cases where Kenichiro Imai is absent and cannot see the report. In this case, in another embodiment of the present invention, the mail server of Kenichiro Imai analyzes the e-mail received within a predetermined time, for example, 1 minute to 10 minutes after the arrival of the notification e-mail, and uses the e-mail based on the notification information to illegally use the e-mail. Automatic access means for automatically accessing the home page inside can be provided. The homepage information of the spoofing site acquired by the automatic access means is converted into a file which cannot be re-edited, for example, a file which can be restricted from being rewritten as displayed by AcrobatReader, or a file which is self-destructed when edited. Thereafter, the converted file can be fixedly recorded on a medium such as a magnetic disk or a non-rewritable optical disk using digital information. The information fixedly stored in this medium can be expected to be used as a document of a trial in the future, and at least can be used as a bargaining material for a maliciously tampered person. In this embodiment, since the mail server is intended to enter the homepage server of the spoofing site, the mail server is used in a meaning included in the category of the homepage server device with an unauthorized use prevention function.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a server device illustrating the present invention. The WWW server 60 is a Java applet 62, 64, 6 which is an unauthorized use prohibition function program.
6, 68. The Java applet is downloaded to a personal computer on the side of a viewer when accessed by a net surfer, and has a function of exchanging messages with each other. These Java applets include home page information 70 described in the HTML language stored in the server 60, for example, "index.html" stored in an area that is externally permitted to access the Internet.
The activation can be controlled by an applet usage definition defined inside the file 72 having a predetermined file name. FIG. 14 is a software flowchart illustrating the present invention. The flow shown in FIG. 14 includes a step 80 in which the program is started from the time when the homepage is browsed by accessing from the Internet, a step 82 in which the representative applet monitors whether another definition is missing, and a step 82 in which the other applet is monitored. If the URL is missing, the process branches to step 84 and the homepage server 6
0 while obtaining the IP address and domain name
A step 86 for activating the common gateway interface CGI using the address and the domain name as information and terminating the processing, and if no other definition is missing, branching from step 82 to step 88, where each applet is currently saved. Step 88 of obtaining the IP address of the server 66 and comparing it with the programmed code and verifying it; Step 90 branching when this IP address matches the code; and Step of each applet periodically continuing the monitoring process. If the IP address does not match 91, the process branches from step 88 to step 92, acquires the IP address and domain name of the server 60 (not shown), and activates a CGI for transmitting the information to the outside. 94 and a step 96 for ending the processing. Further, the processing terminated from steps 86 and 96 shifts to step 98 for sending an e-mail using CGI, and the obtained IP address and domain name of the unauthorized user's homepage are sent to the web page of company A, who is the true owner. The method also includes a step 100 of receiving a call to the mail server of the administrator 26. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the company name and the trademark of the GIF image are downloaded from the homepage server of the website 20 of the true owner. However, the display of the company name and the trademark on the screen of the personal computer on the net surfer side is performed. Instead of making it possible, the storage of the homepage may be restricted. For example, a known configuration such as a homepage of the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Japan Patent Office can be used.

In this way, the Java applets are configured to verify the IP address of the homepage server to prevent unauthorized use, and to monitor for the absence of other Java applets to detect tampering or spoofing. Other embodiments can be used to implement
That is, the Java applet determines whether the number of characters of the home page information described in the HTLM language is different from the original, or whether the line described in the HTML language is analyzed line by line and a hash function is generated to determine whether the number is different from the original. You can also. Furthermore, it is also possible to analyze the HTML language description line by line and execute a sum check of the number of characters.
As described above, any means capable of detecting a difference from the original and preventing unauthorized use thereof will not affect the effects of the present invention even if replaced with other means.

FIG. 15 is a block diagram of a system illustrating the present invention. The homepage server 110 includes an area 112 accessed from outside via the Internet,
A domain name and an IP address are acquired in the area 112, and a timer function is used to periodically verify whether the homepage has been tampered with. Also, a plurality of cooperative programs can be included in the homepage information. The cooperative program 116 is generally called a good virus, and can display a character trademark, a graphic trademark, and the like of the owner of the homepage on the homepage using GIF. If the good virus 1 determines that the homepage has not been falsified, the GIF image can be read from the external non-entry area 114 and the data can be expanded. The good virus 2 can also periodically monitor whether the good virus 1 has been deleted. According to the present embodiment, when a malicious hacker hacks the home page server 110 of the true owner and falsifies the homepage, and illegally uses the homepage such as obscenity, slander, or false display,
Immediately, the true owner can be automatically informed of the hacking using email. Further, after disconnecting the Internet line while displaying the contents of the homepage being viewed by the net surfer accessing the homepage server 110 on the screen, the contents of the displayed homepage are stored in a personal computer and tampered with. Since it is connected to the Internet at the time of uploading to the spoofing site, the good virus 1 and the good virus 2 contained in the falsified homepage information function as a cooperative program. E-mail notification can be sent to the administrator.

It should be noted that the agent of the present invention is not limited to the above-described illustrated example, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
