About Diceware

+ +Weak passwords are a big flaw in computer security due to a lack of "entropy" +or randomness. For example, how many times have you used a common name or word +in a password, or perhaps the number "1". Not very random, is it? :-) +

+ +Fact is, humans are terrible at remembering random combiations of letters and +numbers, but we are great at remembering phrases of words. That's where diceware comes in. +

+ +Diceware is based on the propsal at http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html +wherein virtual dice are roled 5 times, and the 5 digit number used against a lookup table of words. +4 dice rolls gives you 4 random words which are easy for a human being to remember, yet have +a high amount of entropy which makes them hard to crack. +
