Will someone stop the madness? What is the point of providing a single point of failure?
Sure, a token-based system makes remembering passwords simple - presumably you remember a PIN and the token does the rest - but once breeched all my token-based systems are breeched. I have worked with challenge/response type systems for years, they are simply not needed. Just lock users out after 3 to 5 password failures, then make them contact a help desk to get their password reinstated. Then make sure your helpdesk password recovery systems are robust and secure. That's it - problem solved!
How many of the recent security issues in Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc. were based on faulty password or user authentification? None!. User authentification is not the problem! - Posted by: Fred Fredrickson Posted on: 02/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
