MVC based Password Filters using Intercepting Filter Design Pattern

Used Intercepting filter design pattern to create password filters which takes as input a password and will display the password and a message if it is valid or invalid according to a set of rules based on Model View Controller Architecture using Java.

The filters used are:

(a) Offensive Filter: It has a list of strings => "abc", "def", "ghi". So this list of strings are considered as the offensive words. If the input is offensive it will be filtered.

(b) EasyPasswordFilter: It has a list of strings => "Disney", "Mickey", "Donald". The application filters easy passwords based on this list.

(c) SaltingFilter: Salting filter will add salt string which is "salt12345" at the end of the given password.

Instructions

• My MVC Application uses Swings to create GUI. To execute the application run the main class of this application called 'mainClass' located in package 'MVC_Classes'.
• MVC classes are in package 'MVC_Classes' and all intercepting design filter classes are in package called 'InterceptingFilter_Classes'.
• The application assumes that the user will select different and unique drop down options.
• The password field (from swing library) is used to take input so the input text is bullets (hidden like a password) and not text.
• The 'check Password' button checks for three types of filters in the order they are assigned. Order is specified by taking 1, 2 or 3 in the drop down menu.
• The output is checked for empty input and same drop down options.
• The output is displayed right below the 'check Password' submit button after you click the button.
• The Output shows the given password and if it is valid or invalid.
