StreamTrap - SMTP filter
Gennai FStreamTrap is a software to control SMTP traffics from local users.
It acts as an anti-abuse system by controlling the number of SMTP sessions and/or the number of recipient addressed by an authenticated user during a predefined short period
StreamTrap tries to recognize two different type of SMTP streams: connection stream and recipient-to stream.
StreamTrap identifies two user status:
- Normal user status
- Stream-source user status.
A stream is a flow of events associated to an user that has done the SMTP authentication.
A stream is identified by the following 3 parameters:
1 - the username sending messages.
2 - a "stream interval": maximum interval between 2 consecutive
events of the same stream type (session or recipient-to).
3 - a stream threshold: the number of events that should happen
(with interval <= of "stream interval" between them) to declare the
existence of the stream.
StreamTrap permits a fine control, by a configuration file, of the action to apply to users that are recognized as Stream source user.
It can simply notify the system administrator about users that have been switched to Stream-source user status or it can block the SMTP sessions from such users. The duration of any action can be configured.
StreamTrap can be configured accordingly to a site needs and policy.

RemoveDisplay
Gennai FRemoveDisplay is a software that implements a PMDF channel to remove the "display name" from the header of an email.
It is a powerful anti phishing solution that permits to display the true From field of an email in the user email client.
The "display name" is the component of the email header From field that is typically displayed by the email clients. The phishing emails are composed by inserting a fake display name (for example the name of known delivery companies). When the recipient opens the email it will see such a "display name", but not the email from address. RemoveDisplay forces the client to display the from address instead of the display name that has been removed.

This paper describes issues related to sending documents via "certified email", as required by Italian law. Issues of cryptography and digital signature are introduced followed by a brief description of the certified email system we developed, which successfully passed the interoperability and technical test carried out by the National Center for Informatics in the Public Administration of Italy

E-government services: Quality Assurance of the Italian Certified Electronic Mail
Buzzi M, Gennai F, Petrucci C, Vinciarelli AThe Internet has revolutionized our society profoundly. Efficiency, reliability, transparency and simplification of processes are keywords of the new eSociety. In particular, eGovernment services have simplified the interaction of citizens with local and central Government. Of these Internet services, email-based communications are central due their simplicity of use. Since 2005 Italy has acknowledged the legal validity of Certified Electronic Mail (PEC) systems. The solution adopted by the Italian Government enhances usability while assuring server-to-server security and interoperability. In this paper we focus on the quality of PEC service. First, motivation for the introduction of certified email is briefly discussed. Next, we present the interoperability test, carried out cyclically for verifying and ensuring the high quality of PEC service. Last, future steps are proposed for sharing, enhancing and reshaping PEC together with the international scientific community, to assure worldwide interoperability and enhance its diffusion
