Description
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:
- Friend Suggestion:
design and implement a prototype of LENS on mail transfer agent (MTA) as an email routing facility, and evaluate the system performances (e.g. delays, and overhead) on large scale tesbeds like PlanetLab.
