Implementing Secure Authentication For The Detection Of Web ServerCompromise Risks Using Visual Cryptography Scheme

Abstract

Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to thieve personal confidential information such
as passwords, credit card information, etc from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other
fraudulent activities. The first defense should be strengthening the authentication mechanism in a web application. A
simple username and password based authentication is not sufficient for web sites providing critical financial
transactions. In proposed system a new approach for phishing websites classification to solve the problem of phishing.
Phishing websites comprise a variety of cues within its content-parts as well as the browser-based security indicators
provided along with the website. The use of images 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 are simultaneously available; 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.
