This paper describes one of the security feature authentication. The main goal of this research is to achieve authentication to identify legal user and minimize the chance of attacks. Internet is open to every body to access and share information on it. Unfortunately, the intruders are also there, to examine a web application and its infrastructure to develop his own design, find the potential weaknesses, and use these weaknesses to break or exploit the application for information steeling. There are different kinds of protocol and methods used for security but still threats to the information on internet. Through authentication process, we can control up to some extend the illegal usage of application. We proposed algorithm for authentication that is RIPEMD -160. RIPEMD-160 will capture overall secure authentication.
