Abstract

Brute-force attack is unavoidable in any environment where weak passwords are used to secure sensitive information. In accessing resources via the Internet, the most common means of security is the user’s identity and a secret passphrase known as a password. Various means have been researched and developed to mitigate or limit brute-force attack. This research was carried out to develop a brute-force prevention system for cloud computing, that protects the Symmetric key encryption algorithm that is implemented as a security measure from brute-force attack by generating new encryption key which is generated by salting the user’s password with a random salt value using cryptographic hashing function. A password policy was designed to assist users in generating a robust password. To improve the security of the system, One Time password was used. This bruteforce prevention system was designed to assist users in generating a strong password. After testing the bruteforce prevention system, the results showed that unsuccessful brute-force attack was at 100% and successful brute-force attack was at 0%. And also, a strong password can help prevent brute-force attacks. However, if a successful brute-force attacks occurred it is as a result of users disclosing or not properly securing their login credentials. The study concluded that the brute-force prevention system has a high level of resistance against brute-force attacks due to the password policies enforced. It is therefore recommended to service providers were the use of Data Encryption Standard is predominant and also were the processing and rounds of communication of data is low. This can integrate more security features while working with the current encryption standard.
