A contemporary anti-phishing framework based on visual cryptography and steganography

In new technologies developing tremendously, and with this, the usage of online commodities has also seen a surge with a drastic daily increase in the number of users. Online support has also led to increased online attacks on the user's confidential data, leading to financial and social loss. Phishing is one such online attack using which an attacker impersonates any authentic organisation to deceive and take advantage of users to steal various private information like passwords, payment card details, etc. These days, attackers have easy access to new tools and techniques which can easily evade many existing anti-phishing techniques. To enhance the security of the user's confidential information and protect them from such phishing attacks, this paper proposes a new approach that uses visual cryptography and steganography. This approach will help the user keep its identity and login credentials confidential unless the website proves its trustworthiness.
