Modern Method for Detecting Web Phishing Using Visual Cryp-tography (VC) and Quick Response Code (QR code)

摘要

Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to thieve personal confidential information such as pass-words, credit card information etc from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other fraudu-lent activities. Here an image based (QR codes) authentication using Visual Cryptography (VC) is used. The use of Visual cryptography is explored to convert the QR code into two shares and both these shares can then be transmitted separately. One Time Passwords (OTP) is passwords which are valid only for a session to validate the user within a specified amount of time. In this paper we are presenting a new authentication scheme for se-cure OTP distribution in phishing website detection through VC and QR codes.
