Approaches to Phishing Identification Using Match and Probabilistic Digital Fingerprinting Technique
This paper establishes some requirements for phishing identification and explains various approaches to detection by looking for copying of web site layout and structure through source code (and optionally image) fingerprinting. This enables us to perform a number of exact-match comparisons to genuine websites or to other known attacks. Lastly, we also explore techniques to correlate different attacks to a single likely source. PDF
Reasoning-Based Adaptive Language Parsing
Language classification typically employs a parser using a static set of parsing rules. This presents a problem for learning machines needing to parse different languages, many with different structural rules. Hand-written rules can also provide less-than-optimal parsing even for languages they were designed for, as subcomponents of words can sometimes be more useful. This paper introduces a technique to adaptievely reprogram a language parser to generate the most useful possible data, without any prior knowledge of a language or lexicon. PDF
