INTRODUCTION

Many password protection software applications include a password generator. This provides the user with the option to allow the system to assign random characters to usernames and logins. These generators use a combination of case-sensitive letters, numbers and symbols that are mathematically generated to provide the user with the strongest, most-difficult-to-crack passwords. Password generators use encryption algorithms. These algorithms are complex mathematical equations created by cryptologists people who study the making and breaking of codes. There are only about a dozen different types of encryption algorithms, and only a few have been proven completely impervious to hackers. Government agencies and computer companies alike use these encryption algorithms to protect sensitive information pertaining to national or corporate security.

ASSUMPTIONS
1. Simply tell the generator your desired parameters (length, phonetics, letters, mixed case, and numbers) 2. It will randomly produce a password that is highly secure and difficult to guess or hack based on an ideal aggregate of the options.

OBJECTIVE
Most of our daily activities are or can be done online with the click of a mouse. We can and do regularly access our bank accounts, pay our bills and shop online. Each of these activities occurs on different websites that each require a username and password. In order to curb hacker attacks, many password management software applications include a password generator that employs one or more encryption algorithms to make user information stronger and harder to hack.

DEVELOPMENT ENVIROMENT
Random Password Generator will be developed as a web application using Java/JSP/JSON and DB2 database. Net Beans 7.1.2 will be used as the IDE for the same. You may consider using a JavaScript framework like jQuery/Prototype/ Scriptaculous.
