TL;DR: A web-based architecture which uses a combination of Image Processing and secure transmission of customers’ Iris templates along with credit card details for decreasing credit card frauds over Internet is proposed.
Abstract: E-commerce is an outcome of globalization and technology outbreak of 21st century. Increasingly, more products and services are sold over Internet; hence, there is a growing need for a combination of legislation and technical solutions to globally secure customer privacy. Credit card fraud is one of the crimes especially when it is used for web-based transaction. In this paper, a technical solution using Iris authentication technique is proposed for protecting identity theft in e-commerce transactions because Iris patterns are unique to an individual. Further, this research proposes authentication of e-commerce users by using Iris biometric technique as one of the most secure biometric algorithms. Therefore, this research proposes a web-based architecture which uses a combination of Image Processing and secure transmission of customers‟ Iris templates along with credit card details for decreasing credit card frauds over Internet.

TL;DR: A model for phishing is proposed, based on a survey of user detection of phishing, and recommendations for a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent phishing are presented.
Abstract: : Phishing is a form of crime in which identity theft is accomplished by use of deceptive electronic mail and a fake site on the World Wide Web. Phishing threatens financial institutions, retail companies, and consumers daily and phishers remain successful by researching anti-phishing countermeasures and adapting their attack methods to the countermeasures, either to exploit them, or completely circumvent them. An effective solution to phishing requires a multi-faceted defense strategy. We propose a model for phishing. We report on a survey we conducted of user detection of phishing. We also report on experiments to assess the success of automated methods for assessing clues to phishing email. We present recommendations for a defense-in-depth strategy to prevent phishing.
