This study consisted of creating and evaluating a proof of concept model of the Social Engineering Defense Architecture (SEDA) as theoretically proposed by Hoeschele and Rogers (2005).  The SEDA is a potential solution to the problem of Social Engineering (SE) attacks perpetrated over the phone lines.  The proof of concept model implemented some simple attack detection processes and the database to store all gathered information.  The model was tested by generating benign telephone conversations in addition to conversations that include Social Engineering (SE) attacks.  The conversations were then processed by the model to determine its accuracy to detect attacks.  The model was able to detect all attacks and to store all of the correct data in the database, resulting in 100% accuracy.
