Abstract :
Browser cache and history are intended to be private, yet it\´s not difficult for malicious Web sites to "sniff" cache entries on visitors\´ computers and then use that information to more accurately deceive them. The authors\´ approach neutralizes the threat of URLs being discovered on client computers.
