PHANTOM: Polymorphic Honeytoken Adaptation with Narrative-tailored Organisational Mimicry Contextually Convincing Cyber Deception at Scale

The paper presents PHANTOM, a framework that generates honeytokens by encoding organisation-specific knowledge (domain names, service naming conventions, technology-stack idioms and realistic secret-value distributions) into a multi-component pipeline. The authors formalise a four-component believability score and use it to compare PHANTOM against a template-based baseline.
