PASSWORD PREVENTION TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE CYBER ATTACKS USING HONEYWORD BY HYBRID GENERATION ALGORITHM

Abstract

This paper focus on the user security issue which is very critical and all system that deals with sensitive data of user has to provide strong security services. So, HoneyWords is a approach that secure user passwords with honeywords(decoy password) . For Honeywords generation we have used Hybrid algorithm. Attacker will not able to differentiate actual user password and honeywords. Hence, attacker will try different combination of password and user will be alerted for the same.
