Musikey – Musical key-based authentication replacing passwords

Summary: MusiKey replaces passwords with unique encrypted musical compositions for authentication. It generates scale-constrained melodies using cryptographic randomness and secures them with PBKDF2, scrypt, and double-layer AES-256-GCM encryption. Authentication verifies the decrypted melody through a four-dimensional musicality analysis.

What it does

Musikey creates and encrypts a unique musical passphrase per user, then authenticates by decrypting and analyzing the melody’s harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and scale properties. After five failed attempts, credentials self-destruct.

Who it's for

Users seeking an alternative to traditional password authentication with a cryptographically secure musical method.

Why it matters

It offers a secure, non-textual authentication method that prevents brute force attacks by destroying credentials after multiple failures.
