whitepaper Introduction to Innovative Mail Filtering With AXIGEN2009-04-10 GECAD TECHNOLOGIES
  Email is not what it was supposed to be. Its inventors have not foreseen the dangers associated with this new form of communication. Means of protection were added later on, but do little to protect people's mailboxes. As a result, most of the mail traffic these days is unwanted: spam, malware, phishing. Important resources are allotted by companies to deal with this situation and the results are usually inadequate. Anti-spam filters are not only incapable to detect all the spam, but they also happen to flag legitimate mails as spam. Antivirus products are basically a game of playing catch-up, with vendors adding more and more signatures to their products in response to new threats in the wild.

whitepaper The Enemy Within: Stop Students From Bypassing Your Defenses2009-04-01 Sophos
  Computer literate K-12 students regularly use anonymizing proxies to bypass their school's web filters to access pornography, social networking, and other blocked websites. This is a major security flaw because most infected networks are first exposed via the web. Moreover, it has serious legal ramifications for schools that are not in compliance with state and federal laws. However, reputation and real-time detection can automatically identify and block anonymizing proxies. This white paper discusses the risks of students bypassing web filters and the technologies that schools can use to combat them.

whitepaper Application of Refined LSA and MD5 Algorithms in Spam Filtering2009-03-01 Academy Publisher
  The paper proposes a spam filtering method that uses integrated and refined Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Message-Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5) algorithms to address a series of universal problems in spam filtering, including remarkably lowered filtering precision and notably unbalanced filtering efficiency as a result of lack of latent semantic analysis of mail contents. In introducing LSA, its weighting function is improved by integrating fuzzy membership to improve effectiveness of LSA in processing mail contents. On top of this, MD5 algorithm is used to generate "E-mail fingerprint", thus enabling quick matching and realizing highly efficient and accurate processing of mass-mailing spam. The result of the simulation experiment testifies effectiveness of the method.

whitepaper Using Visual Features for Anti-Spam Filtering2009-01-01 University of California
  Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), also known as spam, has been a major problem on the Internet. In the past, researchers have addressed this problem as a text classification or categorization problem. However, as spammers' techniques continue to evolve and the genre of email content becomes more and more diverse, text-based anti-spam approaches alone are no longer sufficient. This paper proposes a novel anti-spam system which utilizes visual clues, in addition to text information in the email body, to determine whether a message is spam. They analyze a large collection of spam emails containing images and identify a number of useful visual features for this application. They then propose using one-class Support Vector Machines (SVM) as the underlying base classifier for anti-spam filtering.
