Design, implementation and analysis of a theft-resistant password manager based on Kamouflage architecture

Abstract

Masteroppgave informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi - Universitetet i Agder, 2015As a solution for helping companies and users in the constant security dilemma of obtaining and using passwords in the securest ways possible, password managers have become custom around the globe. The design architecture on what development of password managers are based on, preserving authenticity, usability and reliability are principles that keep systems secure and defend against attacks or unfortunate circumstances. The design principles however, have changed little over time. After researching password managers and analyzing overall security, we use our findings to develop a design based on the implementation of decoys, customized for Android. This development was inspired by a paper named ”Kamouflage: Loss-Resistant Password Management” [27]
