International domain names support increases the vulnerability of the device +to homograph attacks (also called phishing), by allowing addresses (URIs) +to contain UTF-8 characters. By using non-ASCII characters that are visually +similar to familiar letters, attacks can lead the Internet user to harmful +sites.

+

To address this issue, the InetURIList framework provides a list of suspect +characters (a BlackList) for each top-level domain (TLD). The framework also +lists trusted characters in TLD-specific WhiteLists. This enables applications +to detect safe and unsafe URIs depending on their top-level domain and the +characters they contain.

+

The Blacklists and Whitelists are stored in an XML file installed on the +device. You can replace the default TLD policy file by installing an SIS package +containing the updated lists.

+

Applications can query the TLD list but cannot dynamically change its contents.
