Self Explanatory Post

The following is the e-mail conversation between me and a IEEE author

1st Me:
Sir,
I am a student from India doing computer science engineering. I read through your paper on Anti-Phish plugin. The concept of DOM tree comparison is a brilliant idea, but as you mentioned in its limitations, it doesn't solve the problem of visual similarity i.e images that could be screen shots etc. But the new html feature "canvas" can aid in getting the pixel color values and position hence would be reliable to identify phishing site even if the page contains image tricks.
And i'd like to know more about your work on this anti phishing tool if you are free to share. Please do send me your DOMAntiphish plugin when you are free, so that i can practically see its working of the tool to study your tool.
Thank you
Vijay

Dear VIJAY,
if you are interested in extending the solution with this
new html feature we can study it with two other professor
that will support us in it.
Let me know if you are really technically interested (able)
in doing this work and to write down a paper.
Regards

My reply to mail:
Sir,
It is very kind of you to invite us to work with you its really a honor, Actually we are currently working on a big project targeting google in the field of A.I, also we are working on visual similarity based phishing detection which consists of CANVAS function to store the information about images(a partial representation of color pattern) in a browser client side database using SQLite. Our work is 10% completed and its in the beginning stage and while investigating on this we found your paper, it was very much informative. So thought that it would be great if we combine the DOM tree comparison technique with the canvas image comparison technique so that it would be the next version of work that almost satisfy both layout and visual detection. Thats why i contacted you and other 2 professors to know more detail on the project. We are 2 members ready to work combined with you. Please do let us know the next step and your plan
Thank you
Vijay

Then reply came from author with existing system attached with his e-mail:

Dear VIJAY,
the source code is attached.

Good work ;-)
