21 // This protocol buffer represents a machine learning model that is used in
22 // client-side phishing detection (in Chrome). The client extracts a set
23 // of features from every website the user visits. Extracted features map
24 // feature names to floating point values (e.g., PageSecureLinksFreq -> 0.9).
26 // To compute the phishing score (i.e., the probability that the website is
27 // phishing) a scorer will simply compute the sum of all rule scores for a
28 // given set of extracted features. The score of a particular rule corresponds
29 // to the product of all feature values that are part of the rule times the
30 // rule weight. If a feature has no value (i.e., is not part of the extracted
31 // features) its value will be set to zero. The overall score is computed
32 // by summing up all the rule scores. This overall score is a logodds and can
33 // be converted to a probability like this:
34 // p = exp(logodds) / (exp(logodds) + 1).
36 // To make it harder for phishers to reverse engineer our machine learning model
37 // all the features in the model are hashed with a sha256 hash function. The
38 // feature extractors also hash the extracted features before scoring happens.
