Abstract
Secret code (password) is widely used in many applications like data transfer, sharing data, and login to emails or internet banking. So a big necessity to have a strong authentication to secure all our applications is as possible. In this paper, we present a new approach to authenticate password using Enhanced visual cryptography (EVC). Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme in which an image is converted into shares. No information can be revealed by observing any share. The information about the original image will be obtained on after stacking sufficient number of shares. We have a new approach to authentication secret code using our 2-out-of-2 EVC which provides efficient authentication for e-banking and other internet application.
