| 4 | +# FibroHash - Enterprise-Grade Secure Password Generator |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +`FibroHash` is a cryptographically secure password generator that combines advanced mathematical concepts with modern security practices. It uses cryptographic Fibonacci-based algorithms, PBKDF2 key derivation, and multiple entropy sources to generate highly secure, unpredictable passwords suitable for enterprise environments. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## π Security Features |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- **Cryptographic Security**: Uses `secrets` module for cryptographically secure random number generation |
| 11 | +- **PBKDF2 Key Derivation**: Industry-standard key derivation with configurable iterations |
| 12 | +- **Multiple Entropy Sources**: Combines user input, cryptographic salts, and Fibonacci-based algorithms |
| 13 | +- **Input Validation**: Comprehensive sanitization and validation of all inputs |
| 14 | +- **Timing Attack Resistance**: Constant-time operations where possible |
| 15 | +- **Character Diversity Enforcement**: Ensures passwords meet complexity requirements |
| 16 | +- **Configurable Security Levels**: Standard, High, and Maximum security modes |
| 17 | +- **Security Auditing**: Built-in password quality analysis and compliance checking |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## π¬ How It Works |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +FibroHash employs a multi-layered security approach: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +1. **Input Processing**: User input is validated, sanitized, and processed through PBKDF2 with cryptographic salt |
| 24 | +2. **Cryptographic Fibonacci Generation**: Creates large numbers using HMAC-SHA256 in a Fibonacci-inspired pattern |
| 25 | +3. **Multi-Round Generation**: Generates password segments through multiple cryptographic rounds |
| 26 | +4. **Entropy Mixing**: Combines multiple entropy sources using secure cryptographic operations |
| 27 | +5. **Character Encoding**: Maps numeric values to characters using a secure base conversion system |
| 28 | +6. **Quality Assurance**: Validates output for character diversity and security compliance |
| 29 | + |

| 197 | +## π‘οΈ Security Best Practices |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +### For Users |
| 200 | +- **Use unique input phrases** for different services |
| 201 | +- **Store generated passwords securely** (password manager recommended) |
| 202 | +- **Don't share passwords** via unsecured channels |
| 203 | +- **Regenerate passwords periodically** for high-security accounts |
| 204 | +- **Use maximum security level** for critical systems |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +### For Developers |
| 207 | +- **Review security configuration** before deployment |
| 208 | +- **Monitor for security updates** to dependencies |
| 209 | +- **Implement proper logging** for security events |
| 210 | +- **Test with your security requirements** using provided tools |
| 211 | +- **Consider hardware security modules** for enterprise deployments |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +### Input Recommendations |
| 214 | +- **Length**: 8+ characters provide better entropy mixing |
| 215 | +- **Complexity**: Mix of letters, numbers, symbols in input |
| 216 | +- **Uniqueness**: Use different phrases for different passwords |
| 217 | +- **Avoid**: Personal information, dictionary words, patterns |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +## π Security Audit & Compliance |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +### Standards Compliance |
| 222 | +- β
**NIST SP 800-63B**: Password composition guidelines |
| 223 | +- β
**PCI DSS**: Payment card industry requirements |
| 224 | +- β
**ISO/IEC 27001**: Information security management |
| 225 | +- β
**OWASP**: Web application security best practices |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### Regular Security Testing |
| 228 | +```bash |
| 229 | +# Run comprehensive security test suite |
| 230 | +python test.py |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +# Generate security audit report |
| 233 | +python -c "from security_utils import generate_security_report; generate_security_report('test_password')" |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +# Test with custom configuration |
| 236 | +python config.py # Creates/updates config file |
| 237 | +``` |
| 238 | + |

| 252 | + |
| 253 | +## π¨ Security Considerations |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +### What FibroHash Does NOT Do |
| 256 | +- **Store passwords**: All generation is stateless |
| 257 | +- **Network communication**: Fully offline operation |
| 258 | +- **Log sensitive data**: Input phrases are not logged |
| 259 | +- **Guarantee uniqueness**: Use different inputs for different passwords |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +### Threat Model |
| 262 | +FibroHash is designed to resist: |
| 263 | +- π **Brute force attacks**: High entropy output |
| 264 | +- β‘ **Timing attacks**: Consistent operation times |
| 265 | +- π― **Pattern analysis**: Cryptographic randomness |
| 266 | +- π **Statistical analysis**: Multiple entropy sources |
| 267 | +- π **Input prediction**: PBKDF2 with salt |
