Nourai, M., Levkowitz, H..  2017.  Securing Email for the Average Users via a New Architecture. 2017 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (PACRIM). :1–6.

The ubiquity of the Internet and email, have provided a mostly insecure communication medium for the consumer. During the last few decades, we have seen the development of several ways to secure email messages. However, these solutions are inflexible and difficult to use for encrypting email messages to protect security and privacy while communicating or collaborating via email. Under the current paradigm, the arduous process of setting up email encryption is non-intuitive for the average user. The complexity of the current practices has also yielded to incorrect developers' interpretation of architecture which has resulted in interoperability issues. As a result, the lack of simple and easy-to-use infrastructure in current practices means that the consumers still use plain text emails over insecure networks. In this paper, we introduce and describe a novel, holistic model with new techniques for protecting email messages. The architecture of our innovative model is simpler and easier to use than those currently employed. We use the simplified trust model, which can relieve users from having to perform many complex steps to achieve email security. Utilizing the new techniques presented in this paper can safeguard users' email from unauthorized access and protect their privacy. In addition, a simplified infrastructure enables developers to understand the architecture more readily eliminating interoperability.

Lakhita, Yadav, S., Bohra, B., Pooja.  2015.  A review on recent phishing attacks in Internet. 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT). :1312–1315.

The development of internet comes with the other domain that is cyber-crime. The record and intelligently can be exposed to a user of illegal activity so that it has become important to make the technology reliable. Phishing techniques include domain of email messages. Phishing emails have hosted such a phishing website, where a click on the URL or the malware code as executing some actions to perform is socially engineered messages. Lexically analyzing the URLs can enhance the performance and help to differentiate between the original email and the phishing URL. As assessed in this study, in addition to textual analysis of phishing URL, email classification is successful and results in a highly precise anti phishing.
