Novel methodologies to Avert Hacker

Abstract

With the advent of internet the world has become very small in the arena of communication. The information can be communicated from one place to another place through the internet very easily and with great speed. Before communicating with each other the user must be authenticated by the remote system to provide security to the information. The concept of username with password is an efficient method of maintaining shared secret information between a user and a remote system. The information that is communicated through the internet passes across an unsecured network. This gives security breaches to the information of the user authentication and is being hacked by the hacker. Even though the user credentials are encrypted into a cipher text, still with the constant monitoring, the hacker is able to guess and decrypt the user credentials. Here, we are presenting some novel methods to prevent the hacker in knowing the user credentials even though it passes through the unsecured networks. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
