Prevention Of Bruteforce Attack Using Multiple Security Techniques

Most dominant password storage method, store passwords directly in the databases and are mainly prone to brute force attack. Similar to password, storing data directly in the database on the server is another common thing to do. We have proposed the use of honey encryption as an algorithm to limit the possibilities of a password to get hacked. We have considered generating password based on password and other data. We then encrypt the generated password before storing them in the database. Further we have considered applying steganography techniques to hide the data behind multimedia content before storing them directly into the database on the server. We will define certain functions that will allow any user to generate passwords and consequently hide them behind some multimedia content. We will also compress the data before storing it on the server to make storage efficient system.
