An Evaluation of A Country Based Anti- Phishing Approach Using Formal Methods 

Abstract

Phishing is a fraudulent attack that steals confidential information by mimicking a trustworthy entity in a medium of electronic communication. In this paper, research was conducted to evaluate a proposed country-based model to detect phishing attacks using formal methods. SPIN model checker was used to check the absence of deadlocks as well as reachable states. SPIN showed that the model has no error since it did not report “invalid end state” as there was no deadlock in the model. There was also no error and unexecuted codes since as all processes had “zero” unreached states and the trail number equaled to “zero”. The aim behind using formal verification is to help checking whether the model is feasible and applicable. This helps deploying the approach model in the real world in order to enhance the country-based phishing countermeasures.
