-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 So in the course of another discussion on this group, I was told that I might not actually need my 160+ random character passphrase for good security. A few URL's were included, including this one (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Password_strength) on password strength.
If I'm reading the article correctly, I would really only need a 13 to 16 random character password to achieve the 100+ year protection against brute force attacks. Is that right? Am I really wasting THAT much effort or am I reading this wrong? Thanks, Anthony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJOWArRAAoJEFMVikTZRCu/9QsP/iNq0ZJpciM5mn961S+5Phcl W5n9fZy09Fqk0pu6cLnaAGBoYTJ6zct2mddOS4mP6JGz+yzjNEBE/quIoEmfsbRC bEK4FvBYIJIM9enii9DSndom5szt8WhbAIiWAZf9hxgnjKBkcoI5vaNYzKmZvN+u +lwHeYFAGdS46ZRGp1COOSyvY9y2XrtCrJEK7tpIn7VrxYAiwgFOkCExN5dc3fex l54vfi/4uYdTHrgB5nJwSSZdxm7W3YXWfZ8zDVLCgoAnVt/HbJXjQgfShaCH4s4M 3rbjl1KaR1d5VGzOtDmpTqMbrzil1Drz6zh4TNOh8kt8bo+vRVUh/1F6HfawAZc7 nn6FrrY4yjTI6ycOxlzWP+qan/7OGDOEhp/hdpNI9jL/OunBPNBFwZnYWC5jgb8s O6FA/wjzSThgadrldZiBXPMmPKjxicuhf/j4TXl6aIktVo0OVwGyadv+dfAGNeN/ zSfoYjd2DguRqSg4Th5Oo6OSKqBE6Vl072fuFBS+4GuU+b8gCivLBnnJfnzCKVpk npey4jXIyTFo3SY1actdOVouab5P764vSqxvXlQtN7nhmuV+2ieGHhWtxJwdrU6f 2c4GeSXugkTr6tK/RuEhDcA2adkYootng90KcPiS8LLG3BhsJ/N7EdwxH9H/fsuS s/ax3UuoSp5wdyXmAmPQ =yXng -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
