A Little Background on 'GIEIS' And A Few Surprises - Global ISP Email
Identity System
'GIEIS' or the 'Global ISP Email Identity System' was developed in response
to Bill Gate's open letter regarding spam. By combining the frameworks of
consent expression, both fail-open and fail-closed policy enforcement, and
source tracking, 'GIEIS' would effectively eliminate all Internet spam,
virus', worms, trojans, hoax emails, and any form of fraudulent emails.
Further considerations also spurred the design of 'GIEIS':
1. Protection of children from pornographic material in their email.
2. Loss of business due to lack of trust of Internet companies.
3. The spread of child pornography through Usenet and other Newsgroups.
4. The loss of Internet subscribers.
5. The spread of virus', trojans. and worms.
6. Protection of people from fraudulent emails such as those requesting
account details, or destroying a companies reputation.
The main reasoning behind designing 'GIEIS' was simply the protection of
children. We had to design a system that would both allow legitimate email
and uncensored access to services yet provide complete protection for
children. 'GIEIS' allows for this by the sheer nature of it architecture.
Every email can be traced instantly back to account level. From here, its a
simple process of checking telephone records. For those who think they are
a little more clever and decide to use some form of proxy chain be it socks
or anonymous proxy, 'GIEIS' has a little surprise for you.
'GIEIS' will scan the Internet 24 hours a day for open ports, test them and
catalogue them. 'GIEIS' will offer a plug-in script for any web based
email's authentication process. This script will compare the IP address of
the connecting machine against its database of ports that are open. Any
match will result in being denied access and the account will be flagged.
If further access attempts are made from a false address, an email is sent
to the account to inform the owner that someone was attempting to access the
account and will list information of the access attempt. This email will
only be sent once to prevent flooding attempts. The email provider will be
informed and they are left to make their own decisions. Additional
information can be retrived via an automated bot mailer system. Just send
an email to 'GIEIS' with the subject GIEIS REPORT and 'GIEIS' will return
all information it has on that particular account.
In my view, spam is not an 'email only' issue. It has become a problem that
I think should be difined as 'bot spam'. That is, those litte programs that
invade our chat rooms and instant messengers offering us any number of
lovely sites (note the sarcasm). This is the most disturbing aspect as far
as children on the internet are concerned. 'GIEIS' would eliminate these
bots by monitoring chat server connection rates and flagging suspisous
connections. The system would then use heuristics to analyse the content of
the texts. If any triggers are tripped the system will make a direct
connection to the chat window. It will identify itself and state a simple
question to validate that you are human. If the response fails the session
is discontinued for that user, if it passes the 'human test' then it is
allowed to continue its session and heuristics stops. It will be possible
to trigger 'human tests' more than once, this will prevent companies from
hiring a small number of people to pass the tests and then send large
volumes of 'bot spam'.
The questions you really have to ask yourself are these:
Do you want uncensored access to the Internet Services?
Do you want your children protected when they go online?
Do you want to be able to give out your email address without fear of spam?
Do you want to see the end to virus', worms, and trojans?
Do you want to see programs like ICQ bot free?
Do you want better throughput on your connections?
Do you want to see the end to child pronography in Usenet and other
newgroups?
Do you want spam out of newsgroups?
If your answer is yes, then 'GIEIS' is what you have been waiting for. I am
asking that you assist in any manner that you can from drafting guidelins to
help update the SMTP protocol to GSMTP.
