SMS based Advanced Sender Authentication Mechanism for Anti-Spam based on DomainKey

چکیده
Electronic mail is playing an important role for communication among Internet users. However, the value of electronic mail is being impaired by spam mails including unwanted commercial information, virus mails including malignant codes and many different forms of unnecessary information. Thus, it is urgent to develop a method of blocking spam mails fundamentally. The present study proposes a method in which an electronic mail sender receives confidential information through SMS (Short Message Service) and creates a private key/public key pair used in the DomainKey method and, in connection with the existing PGP method, the email sender is authenticated and the message is encrypted/decrypted. Because the proposed method authenticates the sender in the process of mail transmission, it can prevent spam mails.

متن کاملiSATS: Leveraging Identity based Sender Authentication for Spam Mitigation
A vast majority of spam emails today are sent from botnets with forged sender addresses. This has attracted researchers over the years to develop email sender authentication mechanism as a promising way to verify identity of the senders. In this paper we introduce iSATS, a new email sender authentication system based on Identity-based public key cryptography. iSATS leverages an identity based s...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti-spam Method Combining Bayesian Filtering and Strong Challenge and Response
Recently, various schemes against spam are proposed because of rapid increasing of spam. Some schemes are based on sender whitelisting with auto registration, a principle that a recipient reads only messages from senders who are registered by the recipient, and a sender have to perform some procedure to be registered (challenge-response.) In these schemes, some exceptions are required to show e...

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...
متن کاملAn anti-spam scheme using pre-challenges
Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), or Spam, is nowadays an increasingly serious problem to email users. A number of anti-spam schemes have been proposed in the literature and some of them have been deployed in email systems, but the problem has not been well addressed. One of those schemes is challenge-response, in which a challenge, ranging from a simple mathematical problem to a hard-AI prob...
