Spam is a persistent problem on the internet, affecting various communication channels such as email, social media,
|
|
|
|
|
messaging apps, and more. Spammers use different techniques to distribute spam, such as creating fake accounts, using
|
|
|
|
|
automated bots or exploiting vulnerabilities in the system, this extends towards bad actors who may use these techniques
|
|
|
|
|
to harm children, spread misinformation, or even commit financial fraud. In order to combat these issues, while different
|
|
|
|
|
systems have developed methods for identifying and classifying spam, there is no standard or centralized way to share
|
|
|
|
|
this information. This results in duplication of effort and inconsistencies in spam classification across different
|
|
|
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The objective of this project is to develop a decentralized, open-source, and privacy-preserving spam detection and
|
|
|
|
|
classification system. This system will act as a decentralized authority for internet spam classification. The server
|
|
|
|
|
will allow different organizations and individuals to contribute to the common database, to which the public may query
|
|
|
|
|
the common database to check if the given content or entity could be classified as spam and provide a confidence score
|
|
|
|
|
alongside with evidence to support the classification.
