A Novel Anti-Phishing Framework using visual cryptography

Information Technology

Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to steal personal confidential information such as passwords, credit card information etc from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other fraudulent activities. In this project we have proposed a new approach named as "A Novel Anti-phishing framework based on visual cryptography" to solve the problem of phishing. Here an image based authentication using Visual Cryptography (VC) is used. The use of visual cryptography is explored to preserve the privacy of image captcha by decomposing the original image captcha into two shares that are stored in separate database servers such that the original image captcha can be revealed only when both(client,server) are simultaneously available; and the another phase is during the registration the user have to select any random images which will be useful for authentication of user when he tries to login. the individual sheet images do not reveal the identity of the original image captcha. Once the original image captcha is revealed to the user it can be used as the password. .
