      abstract = {CITADEL is a Personal Digital Security Vault developed to securely store and manage users' sensitive digital information in one centralized platform. In today's digital world, people manage multiple passwords, website accounts, important documents, and private information. Storing these details in different places can make them difficult to organize and protect. CITADEL provides a secure digital vault for managing website credentials, important documents, and private notes. It includes features such as password generation, password strength checking, search, and categorization for convenient management. User authentication and appropriate security mechanisms help protect the stored information from unauthorized access. The system is designed with a simple and attractive interface that makes navigation easy for users. The project will initially focus on developing the frontend interface and user experience. Backend and database integration will be added to provide secure storage and complete functionality. Overall, CITADEL aims to provide a convenient, organized, and secure environment for managing personal digital information.},
