Abstract

In today’s world, there are more cyber-attacks going on due to increased utilization of web usage. The most important thing is to focus on protecting the user accounts through secured passwords/credentials. Despite of various research on strong passwords / credentials, yet confidentiality of credentials is not possible and is not reliable till now. The concept of cryptography has been widely accepted, there can be possibility of breaking unless the attacker somehow intercepts the communication and finds the key. The suggestion of model is to integrate Honey encryption (HE) with Blowfish encryption. As honey encryption prevents from common password-based attacks. The proposed model tries to build combination of Blowfish with Honey encryption. The approach of two layers of encryption applied ensures the safety of passwords and data security. As it makes honeyword utilize for prediction of fake password and confuse the attacker for the password or credential breach. This paper also classifies the creation of honeyword as well as how honey encryption typos errors can be avoided. One of the main objectives is to study about honey word creation which can be implemented for communication.
