Abstract(in English) Internationalized domain names (IDNs) are abused to create domain names visually similar to those of legitimate brands. This work systematizes such domain names, which we call deceptive IDNs, and proposes a new system to detect various deceptive IDNs and calculate a deceptive IDN score, a new metric indicating the number of users that are likely to be misled by a deceptive IDN. We perform a comprehensive measurement study on the identified deceptive IDNs using over 4.4 million registered IDNs under 570 top level domains (TLDs). The results show that there are many previously unexplored deceptive IDNs. Moreover, we conduct a user study to examine that the calculated deceptive IDN scores reflect user perceptions when encountering such IDNs.
