cipherforge's Introduction

Cipher Forge

This project is a Java Console Application to generate Random passwords and performing a password strength check.

Functionalities:

1- Generating a Password:

  • The user must answer by Yes or No the questions to know if he desires to use Uppercase/Lowercase letters, Numbers or Symbols
  • The user then enters the desired length of the password
  • A password alphabet is generated according to the Yes/No answers it is a String that contains the choices of the user
  • Depending on the length random characters from the password alphabet are selected and put back to back to form a totally random string according to the user's needs
  • The randomly generated password is then displayed on the console

2- Checking a Password's Strength:

The Strength check is based on the following criteria:

  • The password uses Uppercase Letters
  • The password uses Lowercase Letters
  • The password uses Numbers
  • The password uses Symbols
  • The length of the password is 8 or more (8 is often the minimum required length for a decent password)
  • The length of the password is 16 or more (16 is considered to be the minimum length for good password)

These are used to calculate a score for the password used to know what message to display to the user weak/medium/good/great password

3- Displaying Useful Information:

This is a minor feature that displays on the console so information for the user about password security (Avoid using the same password twice/ Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, dictionary words, letter or number sequences, etc.)
