Most of us have had to deal with passphrase policies that include things like "must include two uppercase characters, two lowercase characters, one special character, must be at least X characters in length," etc. These can cause annoyance and frustration for users and tech support people alike.
Recalling that passphrases should be easy to remember but hard to crack, devise a unique/novel passphrase policy or convention that has both of these qualities and that you think is "better" than most existing passphrase policies you've encountered. Prepare an initial post with the following information:
A description of some passphrase policies you have encountered and examples showing why they are sources of friction for users to get their work done.
A description of your new passphrase policy or convention, an example of a passphrase that meets the policy/convention, and an explanation of why it is "better" than existing policies. Differentiate your proposal in terms of characteristics such as how easy it is to remember, how difficult is to crack, etc. Note that this doesn't necessarily have to be a specific "policy" or set of rules for validating passphrases but can instead be a convention for creating a passphrase that is suitably complex, easy for its owner to remember, and difficult to hack. Justify your proposal by referencing concepts from the textbook and other scholarly sources on "good" passphrase construction.
Comment on the responses of at least two classmates. Try to offer constructive and meaningful feedback that advances everyone's knowledge rather than merely a virtual pat on the back or "interesting post!"
Support your response and all factual assertions with appropriate scholarly or industry sources with proper citations in APA format. Remember that opinions are fine but they must be rooted in facts. Do not approach this as a journal entry filled with your stream-of-thoughts. Do thorough reading on the topic before responding and use what you've read as evidence to support what you post. Do not use Wikipedia or similar sites.
