Password Compliance Checklist
To help ensure stronger password security, leading organizations have published clear criteria to discourage users from selecting easy to guess passwords. We have assembled those criteria into one checklist of key password recommendations to help you evaluate and improve your own password policies.
The Math of Password Hashing Algorithms and Entropy
More credential databases are stolen every year. Many include passwords stored in plain text, while others are one-way hashed. One-way hashing is better, but it is only as secure as is mathematically feasible. Let's take a look at one-way hashing algorithms and how computers handle them.
