| Abstract | Nowadays, the networking revolution has fin ally come of age. More than ever before, we see that the Internet is changing computing, as we know it. The possibilities and opportunities are limitless; un fortunately, so too are the risks and chances of mal icious intrusions. It is very important that the sec urity mechanisms of a system are designed so as to prevent unauthori zed access to sys tem resources and data. However, completely preventing breaches of security appear, at prese nt un realistic. This research provides a detail ed mec hani sm of electronic mail security, and shows security weaknesses of email systems using POP3 service as well as how to protect an email system against possible attacks. A sim ple emai l program which supports user to send or receive messages through networks, is developed as a demonstration for the proposed approach. |
