Abstract: The current world is running around the word “Privacy”. Every individual’s aim is to secure their data and transactions so that no one can access them without proper authentication. In this digital era, all the data stored in the internet protected by a password. The general opinion is that a password can protect the data from being acquired by an unauthorized user. The issue is about what happens subsequently with an authorized login. Once we login into our account, all our actions, state of browser and timestamps are recorded in a simple text file known as “Cookie”. In this paper, we proposed a mechanism which is easy to implement and robust in providing authentication to the session cookie. This obstructs an unauthorized user from getting access to our private data. Our mechanism provides authentication by using the concept of hashing combined with a unique identifier.
