 == Description ==
-The Computer Networks Group is researching ....
+At Computer Netwoks groups, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom labs, we are actively working on LENS, a new spam protection system. LENS leverages anti-social networking paradigm based on an underlying trust infrastructure to both extend spam protection beyond a user’s social circle and fundamentally prevent the transmission of spam across the network at the first place.
+The goal of this student project (or bachelor thesis) is to develop Thunderbird Social Connector (TSC), an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The main features of TSC would be;
+* '''Formation of Community / Social Network:''' Ability to form social network by adding email contacts as friends.
+* '''Friend Suggestion:''' Based on the communication patterns, suggestions are given for new friendships.
+Depending on the project duration and student's interest the amount of functions to be implemented in the prototype will be further adapted.
