VaultGuard: The Advanced Keyless Security System

Abstract

The VaultGuard is a cutting-edge password management solution designed to enhance
security, convenience, and user experience. A full-featured research work named
VaultGuard is developed to assist users in safely creating, organizing, and storing strong
passwords for a variety of online accounts and programs. This paper offers a wide range of
features, including secure storage for multiple encrypted passwords using AES256 on
cloud, Random key generation algorithm for creating an advanced password, updating user
password timely, and a user-friendly dashboard for managing and organizing login
information. The system provides a seamless registration process using Fast Identity
Online 2 algorithm (FIDO2) with Web Authentication (WebAuthn) component, allowing
users to securely login without needing any password. To further enhance security, the
research paper employs AES256 Algorithm to safeguard stored passwords, protecting
them from unauthorized access and data breaches. The system also proactively monitors
the age of passwords and sends SMS and email notifications to users when their passwords
are older than a predetermined time period, such as a month, prompting them to update
their passwords for added security. By combining the convenience of password
management with authentication, strong encryption, and proactive password monitoring,
the VaultGuard sets a new standard for secure and user-friendly password management
systems, effectively addressing the shortcomings of traditional methods with 97.66 %
accuracy and 98.63% precision.
