In today’s world, the major security threat is due to Phishing attacks. Phishing attack makes web users believe that they are communicating with a trusted entity for the purpose of stealing account information, login credentials, and identity information in general. This attack method most commonly initiated by sending out e-mails with links to spoofed website that harvest the information. We propose a methodology to detect and prevent the phishing attacks on e-mail. In its more general form it is an end user application that uses hyperlink feature set to detect phishing attacks and digital signature to prevent the attack. Thus our application will act as an interface between a user and its e-mail service provider to provide secure communication. We believe that this will be a better and more cost effective way to prevent people from losing their private information due to phishing.
