- Description: The design of multiple classication and clustering systems for the detection of malware is an important problem in internet security. Grobner-Shirshov bases have been used recently by Dazeley et al. [15] to develop an algorithm for constructions with certain restrictions on the sandwich-matrices. We develop a new Grobner-Shirshov algorithm which applies to a larger variety of constructions based on combinatorial Rees matrix semigroups without any restrictions on the sandwich-matrices.

- Description: Phishing is a form of online identity theft that employs both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. Phishing email prediction has drawn a lot of attention from many researchers. According to current anti-phishing research, a classifier generated by decision tree produces the most accurate predictions. However, there appears not to be any open source available to transfer such a decision to an implementable classifier. The work presented in this paper builds a decision tree parser which automatically translates a decision tree into an implementable program language so that the decision is useful in real world applications. Experiment results show that the parser performs as well as the original decision. © 2009 IEEE.

- Description: Phishing emails have been used widely in fraud of financial organizations and customers. Phishing email detection has drawn a lot attention for many researchers and malicious detection devices are installed in email servers. However, phishing has become more and more complicated and sophisticated and attack can bypass the filter set by anti-phishing techniques. In this paper, we present a method to build a robust classifier to detect phishing emails using hybrid features and to select features using information gain. We experiment on 10 cross-validations to build an initial classifier which performs well. The experiment also analyses the quality of each feature using information gain and best feature set is selected after a recursive learning process. Experimental result shows the selected features perform as well as the original features. Finally, we test five machine learning algorithms and compare the performance of each. The result shows that decision tree builds the best classifier.
