External link processing

摘要

A system and method of external link processing is disclosed. The system includes an interface configured to receive a user request to access an encoded external link in networked content. The encoded external link comprises a domain name of an external link server and an encoded portion which is an encoded result of an original external link encoded with an encoding function, wherein the original external link is an address to an external destination. One or more processors determine a safety level of the encoded external link using a criterion. In the event that the determined safety level of the encoded external link is determined unsafe, a warning message is generated indicating that the original external link is unsafe and the user is prevented from directly navigating to the original external link.

1. A system for external link processing comprising:
an interface configured to: receive a user request to access an encoded external link in networked content, the encoded external link comprising:
a domain name of an external link server; and an encoded portion comprising an encoded result of an original external link encoded with an encoding function, wherein the original external link is an address to an external destination, wherein the original external link is replaced on a web page by the encoded external link to be selected by a user;one or more processors coupled to the interface, configured to:decode the encoded external link into the original external link based on the same encoding function that was used to encode the original external link into the encoded portion;determine a safety level of the encoded external link using a criterion; andin the event the determined safety level of the encoded external link is determined unsafe, generate a warning message that the original external link is unsafe; and one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.
