I. INTRODUCTION
A high-speed welfare in E-Commerce market has been
witnessed in recent times throughout the world. With
increasing popularity of online shopping, Debit or Credit
card fraud and personal information security are major
burden for customers and banks specifically in the case
of CNP (Card Not Present). It allows customers to buy
goods or services using web browsers and by filling
credit or debit card information. In online shopping the
common threats are phishing and identity theft. Identity
theft is a form of thieving someone's identity i.e. personal
information in which someone pretends to be someone
else. The person misuses personal information for
opening bank accounts and arranging credit cards.
Proposed system presents a new approach for providing
limited information only that is necessary for fund
transfer during online shopping thereby protecting
customer data and gaining customer confidence and
preventing identity theft. The approach uses combined
application of Steganography and image cryptography
for this purpose. User Account Details such as Account
Number, Debit Card Number and Secret Pin Number are
hidden into an Image using Steganography technique
and Image is split into two Shares and shares are
encrypted. [1]As Online Shopping Portals are insecure
for Customer's Account Details, Customer has to provide
only Account Number on Shopping Portal and Secret
details of Bank account are obtained from adding user
image share with Server image share by admin of the
Bank.
This system uses both steganography and visual
cryptography. It reduces information sharing between
customer and merchant server and safeguards
customers’ information. It enables successful fund
transfer to merchant's account from customer's account
and prevents misuse of information at merchant side.
Once you think your computer is safe to use but there is
rise through social media. In social media we are much
more open about ourselves online. Now days 61% of
people say that they uses social networking sites.
Illustrating the central role that such sites now play in
our lives. [1]As we become more confident using these
networks, we can begin to feel ‘untouchable’. We forget
that criminals will use the personal information for their
benefits like your date of birth and where you live is
enough for someone to begin building the profile needed
to apply for a credit card in your name. So while most
people wouldn’t give this information to a stranger in
real life, they will happily post it online where they did
not care about it.
Types of frauds:
Spam and Identity Theft
Identity fraud terms used to [2] refer to all types of
crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses
another person's personal data in some way that
involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.
In this identity of person is seal through social network
sites and this information is used for wrongful purpose.
In identity theft E-mail address of the user is used for
terrorist activities, defamation, fake E mails.
Credit Card Fraud
There are various mods of Credit card fraud are as
follows:
Duplication: Card is with owner and is duplicate is made
by stealing data of the owner.
Skimming: Collection of data from the card’s magnet and
copy it to blank card.
Call center leaked: The card information in sold to
Fraudsters.
Bank back office data: By hacking the bank server and
getting the personal information.
Data theft: Stealing the information by sending spam E-
mails.
Man in middle attack: Gaining the access when customer
is contacting with vendor for payment and accessing the
information.
Investment Fraud
Various investment schemes typically target stock
investors, trying to steal money and investors' identities.
Some of these scams will come in the form of an online
newsletter.[2] In these newsletters, frauds will offer
inside information on stocks, for a fee, and offer false
data instead of real information. Online bulletin boards
have also become a hotbed of fraudulent activity.

Companies often use online bulletin boards to publish
information; however, a bogus board will release
disinformation. A pump and dump scheme can start with
a fraudulent newsletter or bulletin board where secret
or private information is offered. The object of this
scheme is to alter stock values. After effectively
hindering a stock, the schemer will sell his or her own
stock in a timely fashion for personal gain.
II. STEGANOGRAPHY AND VISUAL
CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography involve in which data is converted into
unreadable format for unauthorized user.[1]
Cryptography involve generating code that allow the
information to keep secret. In data security it uses
cryptography on several levels. The data cannot be read
without a key to decrypt it.
In Cryptography the sender and receiver uses pair of key
to authenticate each other.
Secret Key Cryptography: Here only one key is used for
encryption and decryption.
Public Key Cryptography: Here two key is used for
encryption and decryption. One key is used at sender
side and another key is used at client side.
Hash Functions: These are different from Secret Key
Cryptography and Public Key Cryptography.Here no key
is used at all that why its s called as one-way encryption.
Hash functions are mainly used to ensure that a file has
remained unchanged.
STEGANOGRAPHY
The term Steganography consist of hiding the secret
message into normal message and the extraction is done
at destination point only.
PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY
Public key cryptography or asymmetric key
cryptography is an encryption scheme that uses two
keys –
Public key
Private Key
In symmetric key algorithms that depends on one key
that for both encrypt and decrypt, each key performs a
unique function. Here in Public key cryptography
The public key is used to encrypt.
The private key is used to decrypt.
It is not conventional to compute the private key
depending on the public key. [3]Because, the public keys
can be freely distributed, it allows users an easy and
convenient method for encrypting content and verifying
digital signatures, and private keys can be kept secret,
and identifying only the owners of the private keys can
decrypt content and create digital signatures.
Since the public key has to be shared with user but it is
very large and it is difficult to remember so that’s why it
is being encrypted in the image having some digital
signature
Digital certificates are issued by entities known as
Certificate Authorities (CAs).
TRANSACTION IN ONLINE SHOPPING
In traditional online shopping as shown in Fig. 2
consumer selects items from online shopping portal and
then is directed to the payment page. Online merchant
may have its own payment system or can take advantage
of third party payment systems such as PayPal,
payonlinesystem, WebMoney and others.[3] In the
payment portal consumer submit his or her credit or
debit card details such as credit or debit card number,
name on the card, expiry date of the card.
Fig. 2. Transaction in online shopping.
Details of information sought from shopper vary from
one payment gateway to another. [4] For example,
payment in IRCTC website requires Personal
Identification Number (PIN) when paying using debit
card whereas shopping in Flipkart or Snap deal requires
Visa or Master secure code. In addition to that merchant
may require a Card Verification Value code, CVV (CVV2
for Visa, CVC2 for MasterCard), which is basically an
authorizing code in CNP transactions. According to the
PCI Data Security Standard, merchants are prohibited
from storing CVV information or PIN data and if
permitted card information such as name, card number
and expiration date is stored, certain security standards

are required. [5]However recent high profile breaches
such as in Epsilon, Sony’s PlayStation Network and
Heartland Payment Systems show that card holders’
information is at risk both from outside and inside. [4]A
solution can be forcing merchant to be a PCI complaint
but cost to be a PCI complaint is huge and the process is
complex and time consuming and it will solve part of the
problem. One still has to trust the merchant and its
employees not to use card information for their own
purposes
III. PROPOSED PAYMENT METHOD
In the proposed solution, information given by the
customer to the online merchant is minimized by
providing only sufficient information that will only verify
the payment made by the said customer from its bank
account. [5]This is achieved by the introduction of a
central Certified Authority(CA) and combined
application of stenography and visual cryptography. The
information received by the service provider can be in
the form of account number related to the card used for
shopping or card information. The information will only
validate receipt of payment from authentic customer.
The process is shown in Fig. 3. In the applied method,
customer unique password(authencation) in connection
to the bank is hidden inside a cover text using the text
based stenography method as mentioned in section IV.
Customer authentication information (account no) in
connection with merchant is placed above the cover text
in its original form. Now a snapshot of two texts is taken.
From the snapshot image, two shares are generated
using visual cryptography.
Fig. 3. Proposed payment method
Now one share is kept by the customer and the other
share is kept in the database of the certified authority.
During shopping online, after selection of desired item
and adding it to the cart, preferred payment system of
the merchant directs the customer to the Certified
Authority portal. In the portal, shopper submits its own
share and merchant submits its own account details.
Now the CA combines its own share with shopper’s
share and obtains the original image. [6] From CA now,
merchant account details, cover text are sent to the bank
where customer authentication password is recovered
from the cover text. Customer authentication
information is sent to the merchant by CA. Upon
receiving customer authentication password, bank
matches it with its own database and after verifying
legitimate customer, transfers fund from the customer
account to the submitted merchant account. After
receiving the fund, merchant’s payment system validates
receipt of payment using customer authentication
information.
Advantage
Proposed method minimizes customer information sent
to the online merchant. So in case of a breach in
merchant’s database, customer doesn’t get affected.
It also prevents unlawful use of customer information at
merchant’s side.
Presence of a fourth party, CA, enhances customer’s
satisfaction and security further as more number of
parties are involved in the process.
Usage of steganography ensures that the CA does not
know customer authentication password thus
maintaining customer privacy.
Cover text can be sent in the form of email from CA to
bank to avoid rising suspicion.
Since customer data is distributed over 3 parties, a
breach in single database can easily be contented.
Security Threat
During payment, merchant’s payment system requires
to direct the shopper to CA’s portal but fraudulent
merchant may direct shopper to a portal similar to CA’s
portal but of its own making and get hold of customer
own share. To prevent this type of phishing attack, an
end-host based approach can be implemented for
detection and prevention of phishing attack.
IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a payment system for online shopping is
proposed by combining text based steganography and
visual cryptography that provides customer data privacy
and prevents misuse of data at merchant’s side. The
method is concerned only with prevention of identity

theft and customer data security. In comparison to other
banking application which uses cryptography.
