Review on Data Prevention Using Honeywords

Authors(3) :-Pranav Bhagat, Sadia Ameen, Sadia Patka

In today’s world , data security is the important for the growth of organizations and to maintain their historical and current data . These data are generally secured or protected using passwords. But what if the passwords get into wrong hands or get cracked? To solve this problem and to prevent data from unauthorized access the idea of Honeywords came into existence .The concept of “Honeywords” is to store multiple decoy passwords with the original password that the user itself has created. Whenever an unauthorized person tries to access the data using the decoy password he/she gets access to decoy files. Honeywords creates ambiguity for the adversary to get to real password and prevents password.
