Measuring Identity Confusion with Uniform Resource Locators
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsUniform Resource Locators (URLs) unambiguously specify host identity on the web. URLs are syntactically complex, and although software can accurately parse identity from URLs, users are frequently exposed to URLs and expected to do the same. ...
