Asynchronous Anti Phishing Image Captcha approach towards phishing

Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to thieve personal confidential information (Security purpose) such as usernames, passwords, credit card information, etc., from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other fraudulent activities. Fake websites which appear very much similar to the original ones are being hosted to achieve this. Thus the users assume that they are entering information into a genuine website without realizing that they are giving away their precious information to a stranger who can misuse it for financial gains. Phishing scams have become a problem for online banking and e-commerce users. In this paper we have proposed a new approach to solve the problem of phishing. This approach is named as APIC Approach towards phishing. As the name describes, in this approach website cross verifies its own identity and proves that it is a genuine website (to use bank transaction, E-commerce and online booking system etc.) before the end users.
