Cybercrime Awareness Phishing Email Using Secure Socket Layer as an Interpretation of Information Security

Abstract

Abstract. Email phishing is a fraudulent technique used by cybercriminals to
obtain sensitive information through emails that appear legitimate but have
malicious purposes. Information security has become a crucial aspect in the
increasingly developing digital world, especially along with the increasing threat
of cybercrime, such as email phishing. In this context, implementing Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) is one solution to increase awareness and mitigate risks against
phishing attacks. SSL, which is a security protocol for data encryption, can help
protect digital communications by authenticating servers and encrypting data
sent, thereby reducing the potential for misuse of personal data sent via email.
This research aims to examine the role of SSL in providing protection against email
phishing and increasing user awareness regarding the importance of information
security in the use of digital technology. Through an information security
interpretation approach, this study suggests that SSL can serve as an effective
barrier in reducing the risk of phishing attacks and increasing the level of user
trust in the emails received. Therefore, it is important for individuals or
organizations to understand and apply information security principles such as the
use of SSL to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of data exchanged online
