Project Overview

A secure, locally-stored password manager built with Java that encrypts all sensitive data using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms. Features master password protection, strong encryption, and secure password generation.

Technology Stack

• Core: Java 17+
• Encryption: JCA (Java Cryptography Architecture)
• Key Derivation: PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256
• Encryption Algorithm: AES-256-GCM
• Database: SQLite with encrypted fields
• UI: Java Swing (optional web interface)
• Password Generation: SecureRandom
• Serialization: JSON with encryption

Security Architecture

User Input → Master Password → Key Derivation (PBKDF2) → Encryption Key
↓
Sensitive Data → AES-256-GCM Encryption → Encrypted Data → Secure Storage
↓
Encrypted Data → AES-256-GCM Decryption → Decrypted Data (only in memory)

7. Main Application Class

package com.passwordmanager;
import com.passwordmanager.service.PasswordManagerService;
import com.passwordmanager.ui.PasswordManagerUI;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PasswordManagerApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set system properties for better security
System.setProperty("file.encoding", "UTF-8");
// Use try-with-resources for auto-closing sensitive data (conceptual)
try {
// Set look and feel
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeel());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Create and show application
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
PasswordManagerService service = new PasswordManagerService();
PasswordManagerUI ui = new PasswordManagerUI(service);
ui.show();
});
}
}

Security Features

1. Cryptographic Security

• AES-256-GCM for authenticated encryption
• PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations for key derivation
• Unique IV for each encryption operation
• Salt for each user's master password

2. Memory Security

• Passwords only decrypted when needed
• Sensitive data cleared from memory after use
• Session locking capability

3. Data Protection

• All sensitive fields encrypted at rest
• SQLite database with encrypted content
• Master password verification without storage

4. Password Strength

• Secure password generation
• Password strength meter
• Passphrase generation option

Usage Examples

// Basic usage example
public class ExampleUsage {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
PasswordManagerService service = new PasswordManagerService();
if (service.isFirstTimeSetup()) {
service.initializeUserProfile("MySecureMasterPassword123!");
}
if (service.authenticateUser("MySecureMasterPassword123!")) {
// Add a password entry
service.addPasswordEntry(
"Gmail", 
"[email protected]", 
"MyGmailPassword123!", 
"https://gmail.com",
"Personal email account",
"Email"
);
// Generate a strong password
String strongPassword = service.generatePassword(16, true, true, true, true);
System.out.println("Generated password: " + strongPassword);
// Search for entries
List<PasswordEntry> results = service.searchPasswordEntries("gmail");
for (PasswordEntry entry : results) {
String decryptedPassword = service.getDecryptedPassword(entry);
System.out.println("Decrypted password: " + decryptedPassword);
}
}
}
}
