Dipali Dhumal | Shyam Gupta ^[8]

Abstract: Todays technical world has improved a lot, but there are many security related issues. One of them is password files. password files has got a lot of security problem that has affected millions of users as well as many companies. password file is generally stored in encrypt format, if a password file is stolen or theft by using the password cracking techniques and decryption technique it is easy to capture most of the plaintext and encrypt passwords. For troubleshoot this here we create the honeyword password, i. e. a False password using a perfectly flat honeyword generation method, and try to attract illegal or unauthorized user. Hence that time we detect the unauthorized user. Here we also protect the original data from unauthorized user. As mentioned above, in this project we have used Honeywords also called as Sweet Password Security Strategy.
