LARGE-SCALE DATASET OF USER-GENRATED PASSPHARASES AND CODE/DATA OF MASCARA, A SYSTEM TO AUTO-GENERATE MEMORABLE AND SECURE PASSPHRASES

Code and data for developing MASCARA, a memorable, yet secure passphrase generation algorithm. The paper describing MASCARA appeared in ACM ASIACCS 2023.

1. This repository contains data from Avirup Mukherjee, Kousshik Murali, Shivam Kumar Jha, Niloy Ganguly, Rahul Chatterjee, Mainack Mondal. 2023. "MASCARA: Systematically Generating Memorable And Secure Passphrases." ACM ASIACCS'23. You can read the paper here.

2. If you have any questions about this data feel free to contact Dr. Mainack Mondal (email id in the paper pdf).

3. This repository contains (in "DATASET-user-general-passphrase") the first-ever public dataset of 72,999 user-generated in-use passphrases. To know more about the data (and generation code) see the DATASET REPOSITORY.

4. This repositotry also contains (in "CODE-MASCARA-MEMORABLE-PASSPHRASE-GENERATION" folder) the code (and necessary data) of MASCARA, our system for automatically generating memorable yet secure passphrases. see the MASCARA REPOSITORY.
