QR Based Secure Server Verification by Using Encryption Algorithm and Visual Cryptography: A Survey

In the area of the internet, various online attacks have been increased and among them the most popular attack is phishing. Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to acquire personal confidential information such as passwords, credit card information etc. from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other fraudulent activities. So there is need to build up the system such as "Secure Server Verification by Using Visual Cryptography" to solve the problem of phishing. Visual Cryptography is a secret sharing scheme which owns the technique of sharing the visual information. Visual information (e.g. printed text, handwritten notes and pictures) to be encrypted in such a way that the decryption can be performed by the human visual system, without the aid of computers [10]. This paper gives the survey of different techniques used to protect data against the phishing attack and propose the system that can help to maintain the confidentiality of the private data by using visual cryptography and RSA algorithm based on QR code.
