Abstract
Honey encryption is a technique to protect private data once it is put on the network. The techniques used earlier include password-based encryption techniques which seldom survive brute-force attack. A brute-force attack proceeds by trying the keys starting from one to all on the encrypted text to finally decipher the plain text as well as the key, which may be used to crack the future messages. Honey encryption can help diminish the possibility of brute-force attack. In this research work, we exploit the conception of honey encryption mechanisms, and we apply it to three category of clandestine data embracing simple sentences containing the 5 Ws (that include which, what, why, when, and where), dates, mobile numbers, and debit or credit card passwords.
