AN ACTIVE SPOOF MANAGEMENT IN AN EMAIL APPLICATION

Abstract

One of theserious security issue for email applications is spoofing.Most of the anti-email spoofing techniques developed recently,donot provide users with sufficient control and information on spoof attacks.In this technique, a web based client oriented anti-spoofing email application is developed which actively detects,monitors and controls email spoofing attacks.While the application detects a spoofed message,it triggers an alert message and sends the spoofed message into a spoof filter.However,the user is also given  the option of notifying the real sender of the spoofing attacks.In this way an active spoof control is achieved.The application is hosted using the HTTPS protocol.This application tend to sent notification messages along with email messagesthrough a channel,secured by the Secure Socket Layer(SSL) protocol.It provides a user friendly interface which can be easily deployable over the web.
