Abstract

In this evolving world we must accept the reality that the central databases which are equipped to store our passwords and other sensitive information will eventually experience a data breach in this age of the internet. Cyber risks are growing every day, and we can see that many businesses are experiencing data breaches that compromise the information of unwitting customers. The confidentiality of passwords is still at risk even though numerous cryptographic techniques, including hashing and encryption, have been demonstrated to be secure. The sensitive data of innocent consumers are still susceptible to several advanced-level assaults, including brute force attacks, reverse engineering attacks, GPU attacks, and bespoke hardware attacks. In this research paper, we concentrate on the security of online users using a hybrid combination of accelerated Twofish encryption algorithm and the hard hashing function Argon2, which can be equipped to increase the security of online users' passwords against different assaults.
