Abstract

Rapid development of the Internet and increasing number of available Web applications require users to memorize the passwords for authentication. Password management system is a solution to store login information such as password and help users to log in automatically. In preventing from password leaking, this project was integrated with the multi-agents using Java Agent Development Environment (JADE). The purpose of the embedded agents is act as the third party software to ease the encryption process. The application agent sends data to Crypto Agent using Agent Communication Language (ACL) message, a method of communication between agents. Upon receiving, crypto agent encrypts the data using AES 128-bit encryption algorithm. AES will facilitate the process of the encryption and decryption, and withstand the application from the brute force attack. As whole, MIPM is a development on android application that provide secure platform to store their login account information such as their username, emails and passwords. While, the implementation of the multi-agent communication in this project can be expanded to be commercialize for any web applications development.
