Abstract

Nowadays, there is an upsurge in cyber assaults due to increased Web usage. One of the most essential considerations is to secure password protection systems. Extensive research on strong passwords, secrecy, and reliability has been undertaken, yet several concerns remain unresolved. The principle of cryptography has already been broadly accepted, although it does carry certain risks, including the possibility of communication interception if somehow the key is compromised. The suggested model tries to create a combination of Honey encryption (HE) with Twofish. Besides this, HE is included to prevent brute force. Two-layer protection is presented in this research to protect the privacy of credentials as well as the message. As honeyword is utilized to give bogus but justified credentials or data when encrypted with an incorrect key, the security is improved. Typos are rather visible while entering the password, which may fool real users. This research also looks into contemporary honeyword creation algorithms as well as how HE typos might be avoided. A simple-to-implement honey word creation technique is also one of the main focuses of this research.
