- Can limiting password length increase security?
| Posted: 09 Apr 2019 10:35 AM PDT I'm a 4th year cs student, and my instructor pointed me out to birthday attack as a graduation project. I am kinda unfamiliar with its concepts, and I do not have reliable sources for understanding it (e.g. a textbook). So, does anyone know anything that can help me understand the concepts of the attack. P.S.: I checked Wikipedia, but I found it to be a bit complicated. [link] [comments]  |
| Monthly cryptography wishlist thread, April 2019 Posted: 09 Apr 2019 05:05 AM PDT This is another installment in a series of monthly recurring cryptography wishlist threads. The purpose is to let people freely discuss what future developments they like to see in fields related to cryptography, including things like algorithms, cryptanalysis, software and hardware implementations, usable UX, protocols and more. So start posting what you'd like to see below! [link] [comments]  |
| Intel Management Engine awareness. Posted: 09 Apr 2019 06:50 AM PDT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine Should this be enough to coordinate side channel attacks or even worse, to log private keys, control randomness? What do you think of, is it scalable enough for such attacks ? [link] [comments]  |
| Can limiting password length increase security? Posted: 09 Apr 2019 06:37 AM PDT As I know, any proper login system doesn't save passwords as plaintext, but saves a hash of them. This means that there are theoretically a number of different plaintexts that will hash to your password, and any of those plaintexts will be accepted as a valid password. However, it's likely that the alternate plaintexts will be many characters longer than the original password. Does this mean that by setting a length limit, i.e. 64 chars maximum, you are actually increasing security by automatically invalidating long strings that hash to the same value as your password?
