Prevention of Phishing Attacks on Online Voting System Using Visual Cryptography
Keywords:
Authentication, Visual Cryptography, Image captcha phishing, Phishing, Open CV Library Algorithm, Online VotingAbstract
The aim of Voting System using Visual Cryptography is to provide facility to cast for critical and confidential decisions of internal corporate. It provides the flexibility of casting vote from any remote place. The confidentiality of the election is maintained by applying the appropriate security measures so that the voter can vote for any participating candidate but only if he logs into the system by entering the correct password which is generated by merging the two shares using Visual Cryptography scheme. The administrator is responsible for sending the shares, 1st share to voter email id before election and 2nd share will be available in the Voting System for his login during election. The voters get the secret password to cast his vote by the combination of share 1 and share 2 using Voting Cryptography. Phishing is an attempt by an individual or group which aims to get personal confidential information from unsuspecting victims. Internet voting focuses on security, privacy, and secrecy issues, as well as challenges for stakeholder involvement and observation of the process.
