Intrusion Detection System Using Honeyword
Abstract: We proposed a most accurate and best method for improving the security of hashed passwords by providing of additional “honeywords” (false passwords) associated with each user’s account. An adversary who wants to steals a file of hashed passwords and inverts the hash function cannot tell if he has found the password or a honeyword. An auxiliary server (the “Honeychecker”) can distinguish the user password from honeywords for the login routine, …

A Review on CAPTCHAs in Use with Focus on Their Existing Vulnerabilities Concerning Web Security
Abstract: Over last decades or so, CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart)are used to differentiate between humans and bots. In spite of the fact that numerous choices of CAPTCHAs are presented in later a long time but still text-based CAPTCHAs are most predominant among all other choices on the web. CAPTCHA has been broadly utilized over web to guard against assaults from pernicious bots and …

Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2 1% SiO2 of Crystal and its Bacterial Applications
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 Anatase and Rutile structures have attracted much attention due to their optical properties. However, the large band gap of (3.2 eV) results in the fact that anatase TiO2 can act as photo catalyst and be excited by UV light, which only accounts for 3–5% of the solar energy. On considering that nobel metallatic nanomaterials can harvest visible light, in this paper, TiO2 and SiO2 nanocrystals with rod …
