The research in the area of Internet authentication has three-fold focus: strengthening user authentication, improving authentication of web servers and underlying browser-server certificate framework, and exploring threats to password-based access. Directions include enhancing password authentication by additional signals without additional demands on users; strengthening the browser-server authentication infrastructure by improving or replacing mechanisms relying on third-party certificates with pre-configured browser trust; and better understanding differences between theoretical and real-world attacks. Goals include a better understanding of current weaknesses, including deployability and single points of failure, and new mechanisms improving integrity without unrealistic expectations of users. Broader questions are also explored.

互联网认证领域的研究有三个重点：加强用户认证，改进Web服务器和底层浏览器-服务器证书框架的认证，并探讨基于密码的访问的威胁。 方向包括通过额外的信号增强密码身份验证，而不对用户提出额外的要求;通过改进或替换依赖于第三方证书的机制来加强浏览器-服务器身份验证基础设施，并使用预配置的浏览器信任;更好地理解理论和现实世界攻击之间的差异。 目标包括更好地了解当前的弱点，包括可部署性和单点故障，以及在不对用户产生不切实际的期望的情况下提高完整性的新机制。 还探讨了更广泛的问题。
