Phishing Detection: Analysis of Visual Similarity Based Approaches

Algorithm 2

Algorithm for searching and storing images in database (image seek) [70].

(1)  imgSeek(, , , )

(2)  if (Similarity(, ) > threshold)

(3)   if (domain() = domain())  then return(“Legitimate”)

(4)   else return(“Phishing”)

(5)   end if

(8)  else

(9)  store_Database(, domain(), Unknown)

(10) end if
