As damages from phishing have been increased, many anti-phishing solutions and related researches have been studied. Anti-phishing solutions are often built in web-browsers or provided as security toolbars. Other types of solutions are also developed such as email-filtering and solutions strengthening server authentication via secret image sharing. At the same time, researchers have tried to see the reasons why phishing works and how effective anti-phishing solutions are. In this paper, we review relevant anti-phishing solutions, their techniques and other phishing-related researches. Based on these, we summarize recommended ways to improve anti-phishing solutions and suggest the future directions to study to protect users from phishing attacks.
