The increase of image spam, a kind of spam in which the text message is embedded into attached image to defeat spam filtering technique, is a major problem of the current e-mail system. For nearly a decade, content based filtering using text classification or machine learning has been a major trend of anti-spam filtering system. Recently, spammers try to defeat anti-spam filter by many techniques. Text embedding into attached image is one of them. We proposed an ontology spam filters. However, the proposed system handles only text e-mail and the percentage of attached images is increasing sharply. The contribution of the paper is that we add image e-mail handling capability into the anti-spam filtering system keeping the advantages of the previous text based spam e-mail filtering system. Also, the proposed system gives a low false negative value, which means that user's valuable e-mail is rarely regarded as a spam e-mail.

Conventional filters using email header and body information equally judge whether an incoming email is spam or not. However this is unrealistic in everyday life because each person has different criteria to judge what is spam or not. To resolve this problem, we consider user preference information as well as email category information derived from the email content. In this paper, we have developed a personalized anti-spam system using ontologies constructed from rules derived in a data mining process. The reason why traditional content-based filters are not applicable to the proposed experimental situation is described. In also, several experiments constructing classifiers to decide email category and comparing classification rule learners are performed. Especially, an ID3 decision tree algorithm improved the overall accuracy around 17% compared to a conventional SVM text miner on the decision of email category. Some discussions about the axioms generated from the experimental dataset are given too.

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.

In this paper, it would be shown that individuals can have different responses to the same email based on their preferences through computing the distributions of user clusters' email responses from clustering results based on email users' preference information. This paper presents an approach that incorporates user preferences to construct an anti-spam mail system, which is different from the conventional content-based ones. We consider email category information derived from the email content as well as user preference information. We also build a user preference ontology to formally represent the important concepts and rules derived from a data mining process and then apply a rule optimization procedure to exclude unnecessary rules. Experimental results show that our user preference based system achieves good performance in terms of accuracy, the rules derived from the system and human comprehensibility.

Although E-mail system is considered as a most important communication media, 'Spam' is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Therefore advanced anti-spam techniques are required to basically reduce its transmission volume on sender mail server or MTA, etc. In this study, we propose a new sender authentication model with encryption function based on modified DomainKey with SMS for Spam mail protection. From the SMS message, we can get secret information used for verification of its real sender on e-mail message. And by distributing this secret information with SMS like out-of-band channel, we can also combine proposed modules with existing PGP scheme for secure e-mail generation and authentication steps. Proposed scheme provide enhanced authentication function and security on Spam mail protection function because it is a 'dual mode' authentication mechanism.

This paper proposes a prediction reputation system for the anti-SPIT solution in real-time VoIP environment. Increased accuracy of the determination as to whether spam or not by deriving a threshold based on SPIT presence in the existing paper. The existing schemes need to get the user's feedback and/or have experienced the time delay and overload as session initiates due to real-time operation. To solve these problems, the proposed scheme predicts the reputation through the statistical analysis based on the period of session initiation of each caller and the call duration of each receiver. As per the second mentioned problem, this scheme performs the prediction before session initiation, therefore, it's proper for real-time VoIP environment.

본 논문에서는 SIP 기반의 VoIP 서비스에서 발생 가능한 스팸 위협중 도청을 이용하여 Redirect 서버에서 Proxy 서버로 송신되는 패킷을 불법적으로 위 변조하여 공격하는 기법의 시나리오와 이를 차단하기 위해 발신자 인증 기법을 제안하였다. UAC가 상대편 UAS에게 INVITE 메시지를 송신할 때 Proxy 서버에서 UAS와 연결되어 있는 Proxy 서버의 주소를 알지 못한다면 Redirect 서버에서 질의를 해야 하는데 그때 Redirect 서버는 302 메시지에 Proxy 서버가 요청한 주소를 실어 보내게 된다. 이 302 메시지 패킷을 스패머가 위 변조 할 경우 Proxy 서버는 잘못된 주소가 포함된 INVITE 메시지를 생성하게 되고 스패머와 RTP 세션이 열릴수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 차단하기 위해 인증 메시지가 포함된 ACK 메시지를 정의하여 인증 시스템을 설계하였다.

전자우편(email)은 인터넷의 급격한 보급으로 인하여 사용자들이 많이 사용하게 된 통신 메커니즘이다. 그러나 이러한 전자우편의 대중성을 상업적인 목적으로 이용한 스팸메일의 출현으로, 사용자들은 정신적 피해, 업무 방해, 메일서버의 트래픽 과부화로 인한 유지보수 비용 증가와 같은 문제점들을 접하게 되었다. 특히, 최근에는 광고성 이미지들을 첨부하는 등의 새로운 기법이 적용된 스팸메일의 발생으로 기존의 텍스트 기반의 스팸메일 필터링 기법들이 무의미하게 되었으며, 따라서 그로 인한 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 이미지 기반의 스팸메일들의 필터링을 위하여 Support Vector Machine과 같은 기계학습 기법을 이용한 기법들이 제안되고 있으나, 여전히 그 성능은 만족스럽지 못하다. 본 논문은 전자우편으로부터 텍스트 및 시각적 의미를 분석하여 전자우편 온톨로지에 기술하고 스팸메일 판단을 위한 의미추론규칙을 적용함으로써 광고성 이미지가 첨부되어 있는 스팸메일을 효과적으로 필터링 하기 위한 시스템을 제안한다.

이메일은 누구나 쉽게 정보를 교환할 수 있는 편리함 때문에 인터넷에서 가장 중요한 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 순수한 의사소통의 수단이 아닌 스팸메일의 범람은 성인뿐만 아니라, 어린이 청소년에게도 무차별적으로 전송됨으로써 심각한 부작용을 낳고 있다. 본 논문은 점차 지능화 되는 신 유형의 음란 스팸메일로부터 청소년을 보호하기 위하여 새로운 방법의 음란메일 차단시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 스팸메일 차단시스템은 사용자가 직접 음란한 메일이라고 판단되는 메일에 대해 일일이 키워드를 설정하거나, 메일 내용 중에 텍스트만을 추출하여 패턴 매칭방법으로 분류하는 것이 대부분이었지만, 본 논문은 기존 방법의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이미지 내 Skin-Color분포의 Human Detection 알고리즘과 웹 로봇 에이전트의 하이퍼링크 분석기법을 사용하였다. 성능 측정결과, 형태소 분석과 Human Detection 알고리즘을 병합하여 적용한 경우 성능 측정에서 90% 정도의 F-measure를 보였지만, 추가적으로 웹 로봇 에이전트의 하이퍼링크 분석기법을 병합하여 적용한 경우 97% 이상의 F-measure를 보이며, 신뢰성이 높은 음란스팸메일 차단 시스템을 구현할 수 있다는 것을 증명하였다.
