Creating Password Security using Spark Authentication Secret for Data Privacy and Protection

Abstract

Most of the passwords created by individuals, business organisations and other institutions using other software application to ensure the privacy and protection of their data/information according to the research can be hacked by hackers which at the end cause a lot of financial loss and other disparities. In this paper we create password security system using Spark Technology for data privacy and protection. Secondly, we test the created password by selecting data from the various departments in Kumasi Technical University, Ghana, for the experiment to detect if the created password using Spark Technology can be hacked in order to have access to the data selected or not. The actual data selected for experiment are first and second semester examination results of 2016 academic. The password security system created is "spark.authenticate.secret" using Apache Spark Technology to guarantee data protection and privacy.
