Abstract

The Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the most popular communication tools in the world. As the cost of SMS decreases, SMS spam has been growing largely. Even though there are many existing studies on SMS spam detection, researchers commonly have limitation collecting users' private SMS contents. They need to gather the information related to social network as well as personal SMS due to the intelligent spammers being aware of the social networks. Therefore, this paper proposes the Social network Building Scheme for SMS spam detection (SBSS) algorithm that builds synthetic social network dataset realistically, without the collection of private information. Also, we analyze and categorize the attack types of SMS spam to build more complete and realistic social network dataset including SMS spam.

SMS는 현대 통신 수단 중 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 방법 중 하나로서, 그 사용 비용이 저렴해짐에 따라 SMS에서의 스팸도 함께 증가하였다. SMS 스팸을 탐지하는 연구들은 부득이하게 사용자의 발신번호, 수신번호 및 SMS내용 등의 즉 개인정보를 필요로 하게 된다는 점에서 데이터 수집 측면에서 큰 한계를 가지고 있다. 더욱이, 소셜 네트워크가 활성화됨에 따라 SMS 스팸들은 더욱 지능화되고 있으며 결과, SMS 스팸 탐지 기법 연구 수행시 해당 SMS관련 개인정보는 물론 사용자의 소셜 네트워크 관련 정보까지 필요로 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 SMS 스팸을 탐지하기 위해 필요한 소셜 네트워크 데이터 셋을 사생활 침해 문제 없이 실제와 유사하게 재구성해주는 SBSS(Social network Building Scheme for SMS spam detection) 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 현재 존재하는 SMS 스팸의 공격 유형을 처음으로 구체화하고 분류하여 이를 반영했다.
