Using an Artificial Neural Network to Improve Email Security
Abstract
Email is one of the most widely used features of internet, and it is the most convenient method of transferring messages electronically. However, email productivity has been decreased due to phishing attacks, spam emails, and viruses. Recently, filtering the email flow is a challenging task for researchers due to techniques that spammers used to avoid spam detection. This research proposes an email spam filtering system that filters the spam emails using artificial back propagation neural network (BPNN) technique. Enron1 dataset was used, and after the preprocessing, TF-IDF algorithm was used to extract features and convert them into frequency. To select best features, mutual information technique has been applied. Performance of classifiers were measured using BoW, n-gram, and chi-squared methods. BPNN model was compared with Naïve Bayes and support vector machine based on accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. The results show that the proposed email spam system achieved 98.6% accuracy with cross-validation.
