Abstract: In todays era, information security is an important
aspect in which data is secure from unauthenticated user. Unsuspected victim
attacks the information for economic gain, individual gain and for other
illegal activities. Phishing is one of them in which unauthenticated person
tries to thieve personal confidential information. To avoid these illegal
activities we have projected a new paper “An Anti-Phishing Framework Using
Visual Cryptography”. In this, image is generated which after exploit,
decomposed into two shares. One share is kept with user and other with server.
And when it requires that is at the time of login at particular site two shares
are combined together to form original image. The image form by combining two
shares will state that current site is not a Phishing site and also identify
that user is authenticated one. So data can be secured from unsuspected person.
