La responsabilité des prestataires techniques Internet au Québec

"Les prestataires techniques fournissant des services sur Internet (« FSI ») incluant le simple transporteur de documents technologiques, le prestataire offrant des services d’antémémorisation (ou services de caching) ou l’hébergeur peuvent être responsables face aux tiers ou face à leurs clients, et ce, à plusieurs niveaux. Les FSI peuvent dans certains cas être tenus responsables face aux tiers pour le caractère illicite de l’information qu’ils diffusent. Certaines informations circulant sur Internet peuvent affecter les droits d’auteur de tiers ou être diffamatoires envers certains individus et les FSI peuvent jouer un rôle dans la transmission de ces informations sur Internet. Face à leurs clients, les FSI qui ont accès à leurs renseignements personnels afin entre autres d’être en mesure d’offrir les services demandés peuvent dans certains cas être tenus responsables pour avoir fait une collecte, une utilisation ou une divulgation non autorisée de ces renseignements. Ils peuvent également être tenus responsables d’avoir fait parvenir des courriels publicitaires non sollicités à leurs clients ou pour avoir suspendu le compte d’un client qui envoie du spam dans certaines circonstances. Le présent article traite des questions de responsabilité des prestataires techniques Internet au Québec : envers les tiers en ce qui a trait au caractère illicite des documents transmis ou hébergés; et envers leurs clients relativement à leurs obligations de respect des renseignements personnels de ces clients et à leur responsabilité pour les questions relatives au spam."

A Secure Email System Based on Identity Based Encryption

Now a days, email has become the most widely communication way in daily life. The main reason for using email is probably because of the convenience and speed in which it can be transmitted irrespective of geographical distances. To improve security and efficiency of email system, most of the email system adopt PKI and IBE encryption schemes. However, both PKI and IBE encryption schemes have their own shortcomings and consequently bring security issues to email systems. This paper proposes a new secure email system based on IBE which combines finger print authentication and proxy service for encryption and decryption

CEM - visualization and discovery in Email

This paper presents a lattice-based visual metaphor for knowledge discovery in electronic mail. It allows a user to navigate email using a visual lattice metaphor rather than a tree structure. By using such a conceptual multi-hierarchy, the content and shape of the lattice can be varied to accommodate any number of queries against the email collection. The system provides more flexibility in retrieving stored emails and can be generalised to any electronic documents. The paper presents the underlying mathematical structures, and a number of examples of the lattice and multi-hierarchy working with a prototypical email collection.

CEM - a conceptual Email manager

CEM is an email management system which stores its email in a concept lattice rather than in the usual tree structure. By using such a conceptual multi-hierarchy, the system provides more flexibility in retrieving stored emails. The paper presents the underlying mathematical structures, discusses requirements for their maintenance and presents their implementation.

A Mobile Agent Based Spam Filter System

A new distributed spam filter system based on mobile agent is proposed in this paper. We introduce the application of mobile agent technology to the spam filter system. The system architecture, the work process, the pivotal technology of the distributed spam filter system based on mobile agent, and the Naive Bayesian filter method are described in detail. The experiment results indicate that the system can prevent spam emails effectively.

Using the Euclidean Distance as a Mechanism Distance between Signatures to the Detect Spam and Phishing Scams

Spams and Phishing Scams are some of the abuse forms on the Internet that have grown up now. These abuses influence in user's routine of electronic mail and in the infrastructure of Internet communication. So, this paper proposes a new model messages filter based in Euclidian distance, beyond show the containment's methodologies currently more used. A new model messages filter, based in frequency's distribution of character present in your content and in signature generation is described. An architecture to combat Phishing Scam and spam is proposed in order to contribute to the containment of attempted fraud by mail.

Análisis del uso de las redes neuronales artificiales en el diseño de filtros antispam : una propuesta basada en arquitecturas neuronales no supervisadas

[ES]El spam, o correo no deseado enviado masivamente, es una amenaza que afecta al correo electrónico y otros medios de comunicación telemática. Su alto volumen de circulación genera pérdidas temporales y económicas considerables. Se presenta una solución a este problema: un sistema inteligente híbrido de filtrado antispam, basado en redes neuronales artificiales (RNA) no supervisadas. Consta de una etapa de preprocesado y de otra de procesado, basadas en distintos modelos de computación: programada (con 2 fases: manual y computacional) y neuronal (mediante mapas autoorganizados de Kohonen, SOM), respectivamente. Este sistema ha sido optimizado usando, como cuerpo de datos, ham de “Enron Email” y spam de dos fuentes diferentes. Se analiza la calidad y el rendimiento del mismo mediante diferentes métricas.

Spanish-English Codeswitching in Email Communication

While spoken codeswitching (CS) among Latinos has received significant scholarly attention, few studies have examined written CS, specifically naturally-occurring CS in email. This study contributes to an under-studied area of Latino linguistic practices by reporting the results of a study of CS in the emails of five Spanish-English bilingual Latinos. Methods are employed that are not often used in discourse analysis of email texts, namely multi-dimensional scaling and tree diagrams, to explore the contextual parameters of written Spanish-English CS systematically. Consistent with the findings of other studies of CS in CMC, English use was most associated with professional or formal contacts, and use of Spanish, the participants’ native language, was linked to intimacy, informality, and group identification. Switches to Spanish functioned to personalize otherwise transactional or work-related English-dominant emails. The article also discusses novel orthographic and linguistic forms specific to the CMC context.

Persuasive email messages for patient communication.

To improve health and reduce costs, we need to encourage patients to make better health care decisions. Since email is widely available, it may be useful for patient-directed interventions. However, we know little about how the contents of an email message can influence a health-related decision. We propose a model to understand how patients may process persuasive email messages.
