<h3>About Diceware</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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? :-)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 <a href="http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html">http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html</a>
|
||||||
|
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.

||||||
