A Study of Prevention for Social Engineering Attacks Using Real/Fake Organization's Uniforms: Application of Radio and Intra-Body Communication Technologies

Abstract

Social engineering attack using real/fake organization's uniform is frequent everywhere in the world. If anyone can verify the uniformed person in front of him/her quickly, they can escape the damage from above fraud. So in this paper, we studied and proposed the uniformed person verification system. First, we developed the uniform-wearing detection system using IBC technology as a basis of our target system. Second, we made a prototype system which can notify verifier (genuine officer/employee) whether uniformed person in front of him/her is genuine officer/employee or not. High practicality, reliability, and safety of the prototype system were demonstrated by experimenting with actual uniform.
