Abstract
Phishing websites are forged web pages that are created by malicious people to mimic web pages of real websites and it attempts to defraud people of their personal information.
Detecting and identifying Phishing websites is really a complex and dynamic problem involving many factors and criteria, and
because of the subjective considerations and the ambiguities involved in the detection, Fuzzy Logic model can be an effective
tool in assessing and identifying phishing websites than any other
traditional tool since it offers a more natural way of dealing with
quality factors rather than exact values. In this paper, we present
novel approach to overcome the `fuzziness¿ in traditional website phishing risk assessment and propose an intelligent resilient and effective model for detecting phishing websites. The proposed
model is based on FL operators which is used to characterize the
website phishing factors and indicators as fuzzy variables and
produces six measures and criteria¿s of website phishing attack
dimensions with a layer structure. Our experimental results
showed the significance and importance of the phishing website
criteria (URL & Domain Identity) represented by layer one, and
the variety influence of the phishing characteristic layers on the
final phishing website rate.
