Abstract
This chapter presents ALP: an adjustable lexicon-generated password mechanism. ALP is a password encryption web application. In ALP, a password is generated randomly from an imported dictionary of words. For example, with an entire dictionary, it will pick out random strings that add up to a 128-bit hex key and return the key to the user. The password will be “easy to remember” since it will be made of a chosen pool of words. It will then take in the user’s message to be encrypted and output the encrypted message according to the key. The password generator, if need be, can be switched to a completely random mode which will make it output a string of random numbers and letters if the user does not choose to use the easy-to-remember password generator function. The application will also be able to decrypt the AES-128 encrypted message and transform it back into normal text. This experiment suggests that the proposed model is a block cipher that can successfully generate a memorable random password.
