$~ How Honey Encryption Works

Honey Encryption is a unique approach to encryption that protects against brute-force attacks by returning fake but plausible data when an incorrect key is used.

The Process:

• You encrypt a message using a secure key (AES-GCM in this demo).
• The encrypted message is stored with a unique ID.
• When decrypting, you provide the ID and a key.
• If the key is correct, you get the original message.
• If the key is incorrect, you get a fake message that looks real.

This technique ensures that attackers cannot tell whether they've successfully decrypted the data, making brute-forcing ineffective.
