Software and features
AI Fraud Protect
AI Fraud Protect is software for certificate issuers that finds fake verification pages and lookalike domains imitating their certificate checks, through reports from verifiers via a report widget and through scheduled domain scans. It assesses every find with AI against the issuer's real verification page, compiles an evidence package and reports the page in parallel to hosting provider, registrar, DNS provider and Google Safe Browsing until it is offline, with every report reviewed and sent by a person. It is offered under the Verova brand and built by FutureNext GmbH in Mannheim, Germany.

Evidence
definition · fraudprotect.ai“Fraudsters don't just forge certificates. They also fake the pages that confirm them. AI Fraud Protect finds those pages in two ways: through reports from the people checking a certificate, who have the link in front of them, and through scans of the web. It then secures the evidence and carries every case through to removal.”

Report widget
The report widget is a form that certificate issuers embed with one line of code on their website or verification page. Verifiers such as employers, HR departments and authorities use it to report a suspicious link with all its parameters or to upload a suspicious certificate as a PDF, from whose QR code AI Fraud Protect reads the link. Every report requires an image captcha and is rate-limited per IP address.

Domain scanner
The domain scanner of AI Fraud Protect generates variants of an issuer's protected domains on a schedule, with typos, homoglyphs and terms such as certificate or exam, and checks every hit, with up to 20,000 candidates per scan. Manual scans by domain or CSV are also possible, and relevant hits become threats with one click.

AI risk assessment
The AI risk assessment compares every find with the issuer's real certificate page and homepage, including look, logo, text and input fields, rates the risk as critical, high, medium or low and names what was copied. If a page cannot be reached, it assesses domain and DNS signals instead, and inconclusive cases go to manual review.

Automated takedown workflow
The automated takedown workflow of AI Fraud Protect leads every case through framing, channels, screenshots, evidence and sending. The issuer chooses a framing (certificate forgery, phishing or brand forgery), AI Fraud Protect identifies the hosting provider, registrar, DNS provider and other channels with their abuse contacts and the reason for each, and the reports go out in parallel, by email or through the provider's form, after a person has reviewed them.

Follow-up and escalation
Follow-up and escalation is how AI Fraud Protect tracks a takedown after sending: a live status per channel, a takedown inbox with all replies, and recommendations for a follow-up or the next level, up to an ICANN complaint or UDRP proceedings, until the domain is offline. Closed cases keep being scanned, so a page that resurfaces can be reported again right away.
Relations
- LEADS_TO leads to UDRP declared (when a registrar or another channel does not respond)
- RELATES_TO relates to ICANN (ICANN complaint when a registrar does not respond) Body that coordinates domain names; an ICANN complaint is an escalation step.

Fake verification page
A web page that imitates an issuer's real certificate verification page, often under a long subdomain beginning with the issuer's name on a third-party domain, and confirms forged certificates as valid. Many such pages show the forgery only when opened with the parameters from the QR code on the forged certificate, so search engines and domain scans do not find them.

Domain name registrar
