An algorithm for securing user credentials by combining Encryption and Hashing method
Abstract
Internet browsers, run on electronic devices usually preserve sensitive information, for example, client identifications. With present day innovation, most of the internet browsers uses password logins as an initial validation to demonstrate a client's individuality. Passwords perform as the primary safeguard against provoker manipulation. But, some internet browsers usually preserve client passwords in the records as plaintext. This saved client’s password help the attackers to promptly get client accreditations and break it. This paper proposes a new algorithm for the security of user credentials using the encryption and the hashing method. Specifically, the motivation behind this technique is to make sure about client identifications against data fraud. This approach ensures client accreditations utilizing a new algorithm that at the first stage keeps a password and then encrypt the password. After that, the respected encrypted data is hashed and sent to the internet browser server to store. This devised method is easy to develop and execution in the internet browser.
