ENHANCING CYBERSECURITY WITH COMBINED GRAPHICAL CAPTCHA AND AES HASH PROTOCOLS FOR WEB AUTHENTICATION

Password alone is currently not trusted for user online authentication and security as threats from hackers continue to grow, requiring highly efficient defense safeguard protection against unauthorized users. Therefore, CAPTCHA techniques came into the picture as an automated assistance to distinguish between humans and robots. The CAPTCHA has several applications in the online security domain requiring to be merged with encrypted hash function benefitting from the facility of the graphical password schemes. This paper proposes engineering and authentication technique using graphical CAPTCHA with an AES encrypted hash password to maintain applicable security accessing systems. We propose three layered security system that joins highly efficient security mechanisms to avoid users’ stress of entering password many times or different other hectic routines in order to save account accessing
