SpamBlocker: Combining NLP and Genetic Algorithms to Improve Spam Defence Efficiency

Publisher's description
The problem of differentiating solicited email from spam email for millions of email users worldwide has still not been fully solved, in part due to variation in user preferences and idiosyncratic language use. Many anti-spam systems treat email text as generic and are inadaptable to individual user preferences. This paper presents an anti-spam solution which combines two computational techniques for an algorithm which applies a two-step filtering process: keyword extraction and a genetic algorithm to build a spam filter system for filtration based on user word profiles. The algorithm has been tested on a text classification task, preliminary results indicating higher performance than one-layer classification systems. It is aimed to implement the system as an email plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.

Understanding Windows Mobile Security
One topic the user really needs to understand when deploying Windows Mobile applications is security. Often, developers spend a lot of time developing and testing their applications on emulators. However, applications that are working perfectly on emulators often break mysteriously on real devices. A large part of this can be attributed to the lack of understanding of the security policies implemented on Windows Mobile devices. In this paper, the user will learn about the security provisioning of Windows Mobile devices and how he or she can provision the own Windows Mobile device using the Device Security Manager (included with Visual Studio 2008).

The definition of cloud computing depends largely on whether you are a consumer or producer. The public cloud is geared more for the individual consumer or small company, while the private cloud is geared more for a medium-to-large company. In addition, the private cloud is branching out to incorporate the ability to have some data and applications serviced from the public cloud. This white paper examines the different types of cloud computing and shows what cloud computing can offer you.

The Alabama Medicaid Agency was handling identity credential management in a decentralized, manual way. It was taking two IT staff members two hours a day to provision and deprovision users, with the possibility that systems might host outdated, erroneous, or inconsistent identity information. As part of a broader technology upgrade, the agency adopted Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, and expects to cut the time spent on identity management by 75 percent. With this solution, the agency also has increased the consistency of identity information across systems, boosted the security of its data and its compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA, and provided a flexible foundation for the continued growth of the identity management system to encompass more agencies in state government.

Markets for Information: Of Inefficient Firewalls and Efficient Monopolies
This paper studies, within a formal model, market environments where information is costly to acquire and is of use also to potential competitors. Agents may then sell, or buy, reports - of unverifiable quality - over the information acquired and choose the trades in the market on the basis of what they learnt. The paper finds that, in equilibrium, information is acquired when its costs are not too high and in that case it is also sold, though reports are typically noisy. Also, the market for information tends to be a monopoly, and there is inefficiency given by underinvestment in information acquisition.

This paper proposes a mechanism for connecting two or more MPLS islands belonging to the same MPLS domain through one ASON/GMPLS domain. It is based on the Overlay Model, where client and server networks do not exchange routing information. The interconnection is firstly done at the control plane level allowing the OSPF-TE flooding mechanism to advertise the existence of a link between two MPLS islands. Then, all MPLS routers in both parts of the MPLS domain know the complete network topology. Moreover, flooding messages advertising topological changes in one MPLS island of the domain are sent to other MPLS islands through these connections. No optical resources are used in the transport plane of the ASON/GMPLS network.

This paper gives an overview of the current practical approaches under study for a scalable implementation of multicast in Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs over an IP-MPLS multiservice network. These proposals are based on a well-known technique: the aggregation of traffic into shared trees to manage the forwarding-state vs bandwidth-saving trade-off. This sort of traffic engineering mechanism requires methods to estimate the resources required for to set up a multicast shared tree for a set of VPN networks. The methodology proposed in this paper consists of studying the effect of aggregation obtained by random shared-tree allocation on a reference model of the representative network scenario.

This paper describes a complete demo scenario where a Triple Play configuration (video, audio and data) with quality of service will be shown. This scenario could be considered as the aim of the Next Generation Networks (NGN) where a unified network is used to transport all possible kind of traffic towards a broadband Ethernet access multi-provider network. Although a NGN is a glue of different network parts, the paper focuses this demo in the customer premises, more precisely in the Residential Gateway (RGW) that is the interface between the end user and the access network.

The technique of electronic time-stamping allows a client to get an electronic proof of the existence of a document at a specific point in time. A simple way to achieve this is to produce a digital signature over the pair (document, time). Linked time-stamps have an advantage over these simple time-stamps because they construct a verifiable link between time-stamps. This paper discusses how to include linked timestamps in the OASIS Digital Signature Services standard. They highlight the problem points when introducing a sub-profile of this standard, and they describe some additional structures that are needed to accommodate a broad range of linked time-stamping schemes.
