A mobile based anti-phishing authentication scheme using QR code

Abstract

Due to the development of information and communication technology, protecting the personal authentication information from infected computer or web phishing has become a crucial task to be achieved. Using a pair of username and password authentication scheme is no more secure since attacker can collect information from web phishing and computer infection. Various malwares or intended programs attempt to capture the sensitive information from personal computer. Therefore, secure authentication scheme is required. In this paper, we propose a anti phishing single sign-on (SSO) authentication model using QR code. This scheme is secure against phishing attack and even on the distrusted computer environment.
