Harmony Search for Security Enhancement

Abstract

The honeyword system can be considered a mechanism for detecting passwords aiming to develop hashed password security via creating a password cracking easier to be detected. A lot of false passwords come with true passwords for forming the false and true passwords for all users. When a hacker logs in and uses a honeyword, a silent alarm trigger illustrates that the honeyword system could be compromised. A lot of mechanisms of honeyword generating have been submitted and all of them have a defect in the generation, a support shortage for every honeyword characteristic, and a slew of honeyword complications. HSA (harmony search algorithm), a metaheuristic intelligence algorithm getting inspiration from music, can be utilized here for offering a way to generate honeyword. The suggested mechanism of honeyword generating is enhancing the generating, enhancing every honeyword characteristic, and addressing the shortcomings of each prior approach. This paper is showing many previous mechanisms of honeyword generating, clarifying the proposed one, discussing every experimental finding, and comparing the novel mechanism of honeyword generating with the ones before it
