Sumario:The article presents the author's perspective on passwords and on the U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD's) Password Management Guideline published in 1985 which is known as the Green Book. The DoD's report notes the vulnerability of passwords on an automated data processing (ADP) system to security threats and suggests user IDs (identifications) should be revalidated periodically. It also notes the cracking time and password change rates for password schemes including the 8-character eye-of-newt and 13-character full alphanumeric.
