| Abstract [eng] |
Passwords are used as the primary means of authentication in a large majority of internet services and various programs. Passwords are very inconvenient if the best usage practices are taken into account. This shortcoming can be solved by using password managers. This work describes a hybrid method of password management, which generates passwords from a master passwords while allowing to simply store any password for which this scheme does not work. Method uses client-server architecture. The passwords are grouped into isolated clusters each of which can only be accessed by additional authentication information called access codes. An adversary can't access information in clusters that use access codes he does not have. The password store is encrypted in such a way that decryption requires the same information that would be required if the information is accesssed via authenticating with the password manager. An assessment of the implemented prototype was done, in which the speed of the password manager and resistance against attempts to access the stored information were assessed. |
