Data Shield Algorithm ( DSA ) for Security against Phishing Attacks

Abstract

The World Wide Web provides every internet citizen with voluminous and heterogeneous data. Therefore, it becomes an essential to mine this available data to make it presentable, useful, and pertinent to a particular problem. Web mining deals with the extraction of these interesting patterns and developing useful abstracts from diversified sources. To improve the security of Web services one would increase its Quality, hence pre-fetching scheme are opted which increases network traffic and Web server’s load that is used by DDoS Attack. The DDoS attack mostly targets the computer network’s bandwidth or connectivity. Here the paper focuses on network based DDoS attacks especially the phishing Attacks. This paper concentrates on security against such attack and an novel “Anti-phishing System” is designed with a view to provide an instant, automatic, comprehensive system level solution to perform webpage authentication and webpage detection against phishing and named it as Data Shield algorithm. Data Shield algorithm detects both the known and the unknown phishing attacks. This developed algorithm is ‘Realtime Light weighted Anti-Phishing Algorithm’ that can detect and prevent the users from phishing attacks in the real time.
