Passwords are a foundation of security. Getting a good one is a great basis for keeping your data safe, but a weak password is like an unlocked door. A good password is between eight to fifteen characters long; the more characters in the password the harder it is to guess. Using upper and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols significantly increases the variation, and thus the strength of your password, although that variation is minimized by picking common letters like vowels, or lower numbers, and sequences. Therefore, the more randomly distributed the characters in your password, the better. Your institution’s system should rule-out using proper words and will often mandate password changes every few months. Adopt this good practice across all your computers. A password generator site is useful for randomizing characters and offering hints to remember that password, and if you are unsure about using a computer-generated password, you can always tweak the suggested password by changing a character or two. An alternative is the pass phrase. Pass phrases are sequences of words or text and are attractive because they are easier for users to remember, and in terms of complexity and variation, produce longer character strings. However, using an obvious common phrase reduces security. It is better to use a phrase that has private personal meaning and is not in common usage. Whether it is a pass phrase or password, both suffer from the trade-off between ease of recall and security. 1/4 - Mã đề 824
2. A simple password is easy to remember but easier to guess; a harder one is difficult to guess but difficult to remember. It is sensible to adopt a risk strategy with your passwords. The more valuable the content behind the password, the greater the security steps to choose and store a password. Writing down passwords is a solution, but taking care of where you store passwords is a consideration. Possessing a nice, long, normally distributed random password means nothing if written on a post-it note stuck to your monitor. The easiest way to obtain access is not by “brute force attack” but obtaining the password itself through carelessness or deceit. For that reason, if you do write down a password keep it somewhere safe and away from the machine. Source: Question 16. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A.
