Abstract

Communication via E-mail is one of the most convenient ways to replace the traditional mailing system. However, spam appears and has become a serious problem. Most computation is on the spam e-mails, which becomes heavy burden of a mail server. In this paper, we proposed an e-mail authentication protocol to solve the problems of spam and phishing attacks by verifying if the e-mails come from the reliable source.
