Detection and Prevention of Phishing Attack Using Dynamic Watermarking

Nowadays phishing attacks are increasing with burgeoning rate which is highly problematic for social and financial websites.Many antiphishing mechanisms currently focused to verify whether a web site is genuine or not. This paper proposes a novel anti-phishing approach based on Dynamic watermarking technique. According to this approach user will be asked for some additional information like watermark image, its fixing position and secret key at the time of user’s registration and these credentials of particular user will be changed at per login. During each login phase a user will verify the authentic watermark with its position and decide the legitimacy of website.
