PROTECTING USERS FROM PASSWORD THEFT USING IMAGE CAPTCHA ON VISUAL CRYPTOGRAPHY.

Anti-phishing mechanisms in the websites currently focus on helping users to verify whether a web site is genuine or not. Phishing on the web pages is an attempt by an individual or a group of threats/hackers trying to retrieve an individuals personal confidential information such as passwords, usernames/confidential info, credit card information etc..,In this project, we are proposing a new approach named as "Based on visual cryptography" to solve the problem of phishing. Textual keyword validation along with visual cryptography is a major advantage of this project.
