Password Strength Meter

* DO use a password with mixed-case letters. Use uppercase letters throughout the password. * DO NOT use a network login ID in any form (reversed, capitalized, or doubled as a password). * DO use a password that contains alphanumeric characters and include punctuation, where supported by the operating system. * DO NOT use your first, middle or last name or anyone else’s in any form. Do not use your initials or any nicknames you may have or anyone else’s. * DO use a password with mixed-case letters. Do not just capitalize the first letter, but add uppercase letters throughout the password. * DO NOT use a word contained in English or foreign dictionaries, spelling lists, or other word lists and abbreviations. * DO use at least six characters, eight characters for Windows NT. * DO NOT use other information easily obtained about you. This includes pet names, license plate numbers, telephone numbers, identification numbers, the brand of your automobile, the name of the street you live on, and so on. Such passwords are very easily guessed by someone who knows the user. * DO use a seemingly random selection of letters and numbers. * DO NOT use a password of all numbers, or a password composed of alphabet characters. Mix numbers and letters. * DO use a password that can be typed quickly, without having to look at the keyboard. This makes it harder for someone to steal your password by looking at your keyboard (also known as "shoulder surfing"). * DO NOT use dates e.g., September, SEPT1999 or any combination thereof. * DO change passwords regularly. The more critical an account to network integrity (such as root on a Unix host or Administrator on Windows NT), the more frequently the password should be changed. This change stops someone who has already compromised an account from continued access.

Ross Anderson: Crypto wars are over, and we've won!

The "crypto wars" are finally over - and we've won! On 25th May 2005, Part I of the Electronic Communications Act 2000 will be torn out of the statute book and shredded, finally removing the risk of the UK Government taking powers to seize encryption keys. The crypto wars started in the 1970s when the US government started treating cryptographic algorithms and software as munitions and interfering with university research in cryptography. In the early 1990s, the Clinton administration tried to get industry to adopt the Clipper chip - an encryption chip for which the government had a back-door key. When this failed, they tried to introduce key escrow - a policy that all encryption systems should leave a spare key with a `trusted third party' that would hand the key over to the FBI on demand. They tried to crack down on encryption products that did not contain key escrow. When software developer Phil Zimmermann developed PGP, a free mass-market encryption product for emails and files, the US government even started to prosecute him, because someone had exported his software from the USA without government permission.
