A Dynamic Method and Program for Multiple Password Generation and Management
Journal Title: Journal of Emerging Computer Technologies - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Authentication is a process that users must do first to gain access to the websites/services they receive service from. Today, the most common method used for authentication is still text-based passwords. But, some difficulties/problems are encountered in the use of passwords for authentication. One of the difficulties is that users must use a separate and strong (cannot be guessed easily and hard to remember) password for each different website. Unfortunately, rather than using distinct passwords, users generally prefer to use the same password or similar passwords for different services. This leads to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, there is a need for a method/program that will enable easy and secure management of many strong passwords. In this study, a dynamic method and program is proposed to solve this problem. This method and program, inspired by the Chinese Remainders Theorem (CRT), simplifies the generation and management of multiple passwords. With this program, many individual passwords can be generated from a single unique password. Both the unique password and the individual passwords are not stored anywhere. The only thing users need to remember is the unique password, and in our method, long but easy-to-remember unique passwords can be used safely. Although inspired by the CRT, our method is not based on the CRT. CRT is only used in the security analysis of our method.
