Security of Password Hashing in Cloud

Abstract: Though the History of using password in computing can be traced back to as far as mid of last century little focus has been implied on how to securely store and retrieve password to authenticate and authorize services to the end users. In this paper the current security of various password hashing schemes that are in use today will be investigated through practical proof of concept-GPU based, password hash dump cracking using the power of cloud computing. We will be providing comparison on different password h… Show more

“…One of the major questions which arise when a common solution is devised is the security as well as the parallel use-case for the solution. The proposed solution has security intact because the authentication factor uses the in-built Django module for authentication where the passwords are stored in hashed formats rather than plaintext [25]. The parallel use-case scenario is dealt with on the basis of having class schedule-based executions of the solution i.e.…”

“…Storing passwords in cleartext poses a high security risk as attackers upon compromising the system could learn not only the passwords, but the password choosing patterns of individuals [6]. A possible mitigation is to only store the hash of the password [7]. Recovering the cleartext from a hash digest is very resource intensive and is often infeasible with sufficiently long and complex passwords.…”
