E-mail system is considered as a most important communication media, which can be used to transmit personal information by internet. But e-mail attack also has been increased by spoofing e-mail sender address. Therefore, this work proposes sender verification faculty for spam mail protection at sender's MTA by using security card for protection forged sender and also for authenticating legal sender. Sender's mail MT A requests security card's code number to sender. Then sender input code number and generate session key after sender verification. Session key is used to encrypt sender's signature and secure message transmission. This work can provide efficient and secure e-mail sender authentication with sender verification and message encryption.

This paper describes a two-phase intelligent method for filtering spam mail based on textual information and hyperlinks. Scince the body of spam mail has little text information, it provides insufficient hints to distinguish spam mails from legitimate mails. To resolve this problem, we follows hyperlinks contained in the email body, fetches contents of a remote webpage, and extracts hints (i.e., features) from original email body and fetched webpages. We divided hints into two kinds of information: definite information (sender`s information and definite spam keyword lists) and less definite textual information (words or phrases, and particular features of email). In filtering spam mails, definite information is used first, and then less definite textual information is applied. In our experiment, the method of fetching web pages achieved an improvement of F-measure by 9.4% over the method of using on original email header and body only.

An E-mails have regarded as one of the most popular methods for exchanging information because of easy usage and low cost. Meanwhile, exponentially growing unwanted mails in user's mailbox have been raised as main problem. Recognizing this issue, Korean government established a law in order to prevent e-mail abuse. In this paper we suggest hybrid spam mail filtering system using weighted Bayesian classifier which is extended from naive Bayesian classifier by adding the concept of preprocessing and intelligent agents. This system can classify spam mails automatically by using training data without manual definition of message rules. Particularly, we improved filtering efficiency by imposing weight on some character by feature extraction from spam mails. Finally, we show efficiency comparison among four cases - naive Bayesian, weighting on e-mail header, weighting on HTML tags, weighting on hyperlinks and combining all of four cases. As compared with naive Bayesian classifier, the proposed system obtained 5.7% decreased precision, while the recall and F-measure of this system increased by 33.3% and 31.2%, respectively.

When a mail was given to users, each user's response could be different according to his or her preference. This paper presents a solution for this situation by constructing a user preferred ontology for anti-spam systems. To define an ontology for describing user behaviors, we applied associative classification mining to study preference information of users and their responses to emails. Generated classification rules can be represented in a formal ontology language. A user preferred ontology can explain why mail is decided to be spam or ron-spam in a meaningful way. We also suggest a new rule optimization procedure inspired from logic synthesis to improve comprehensibility and exclude redundant rules.

SPAM mails become a serious social problem all of the world and the products for SPAM prevention are coming to the market. This study classifies the existing SPAM prevention solutions according to the patterns to be set up and the judging SPAM methods, and analyses the merits and demerits of them. This study also draws problems of the existing SPAM Prevention solutions and suggests a new URL Prefetch method, a new filtering method which have been out of use. And it draws synergistic effects of SPAM prevention by this new method and suggests SPAM Prevention solution by HTML Pattern method

Although the average amount of spam users receive a day is statistically decreasing in Korea, they still complain of spam and insist there is a gap between the amount of spam users receive in reality and the amount of spam the users feel due to spam. This study analyzes the cause of the gap and suggests the way of complementing the traditional measure of the amount of spam receipt. In addition, we provide the conceptual framework of 'spam management index' that explains the overall spam counteract performances from the users' point of view. Especially, we develop the method of measuring 'spam stress' which can be used as an qualitative output element. Finally we apply the model in Korea to develop spam counteract policies.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for extracting text regions from spam-mail images using color layer. The CLTE(color layer-based text extraction) divides the input image into eight planes as color layers. It extracts connected components on the eight images, and then classifies them into text regions and non-text regions based on the component sizes. We also propose an algorithm for recovering damaged text strokes from the extracted text image. In the binary image, there are two types of damaged strokes: (1) middle strokes such as 'ㅣ' or 'ㅡ' are deleted, and (2) the first and/or last strokes such as 'ㅇ' or 'ㅁ' are filled with black pixels. An experiment with 200 spam-mail images shows that the proposed approach is more accurate than conventional methods by over 10%.

The more VoIP service is widely used, the more VoIP spam becomes threatened. Both VoIP spam violates the user's privacy and VoIP spam can cause money trouble. Therefore, it is important to reduce the VoIP spam but it is not easy to adopt some useful techniques to counter e-mail spam due to VoIP characteristics. We propose a technique using VoIP-RBL for countering SIP-based VoIP spam.

인터넷의 급속한 성장과 함께 E-Mail은 대표적인 통신수단의 하나가 되어버렸다. 편리하다는 점을 이용해서 엄청난 양의 스팸메일이 매일같이 쏟아져 오고 , 그 문제점의 심각성에 정보통신부에서 정보통신망 이용촉진 및 정보보호 등에 관한 법률이라는 새로운 법률까지 생겨났다. 본 논문에서는 이 법률에서 요구하는 '광고'라는 문구를 걸러내는 등의 메시지 규칙을 갖는 시스템과 기존의 문서 분류에 널리 쓰이던 나이브 베이지안 분류자(Naive Baesian Classifier)를 결합한 스팸 메일 필터링 시스템(Spam-mail Fitering System)을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 사용자가 직접 규칙을 작성할 필요없이 학습한 데이터를 갖고 자동으로 스팸메일을 분류할 수가 있다. 들어온 메일은 메시지 규칙 기반 필터가 먼저 적용되고, 메세지 규칙 기반 필터에서 분류되지 않으면 나이브 베이지안 필터에서 분류된다. 실험에서는 제안된 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 메시지 규칙을 사용한 시스템 및 나이브 베이지만 분류자 시스템과 비교 평가하였다. 또한 임계치를 변경함으로써 제안된 시스템의 성능을 높일 수있도록 하였다.

정보화 사회가 도래하고 우편이나 통신체계도 물리적인 공간에서 인터넷(Internet)이라는 가상 공간으로 점차 옮겨져 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 전자우편의 중요성이 대두되면서 스팸 메일 (Spam-Mail)로 인한 여러 가지 피해들이 속출하고 있다 특히, 많은 사람들이 성인광고 스팸메일로 인해 상당히 곤혹스러운 경우를 경험을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PGP(Pretty Good Privacy)의 개념을 이용해서 사용자 인증(User Authentication) 기능을 수행하고, 인증되지 않는 사용자가 보낸 메일에 대해서는 텍스트 분석뿐만이 아니라 이미지와 동영상을 처리해서 성인광고 메일 여부를 판단하는 메일 시스템을 제안한다. 우리의 조사에 의하면, 성인광고메일을 차단하는 메일시스템에 관한 연구는 거의 발표되지 않고 있다.
