An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:
Prohibit guessable passwords
• such as common names, real words, numbers only
• Require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case and numbers in password.
Reauthenticate before changing passwords
• User must enter old pw before creating new one
Make authenticators unforgeable
• Do not allow email or user ID as password
Using WORD, write a brief paper of 200-300 words explaining each of these security recommendations. Add additional criteria as you see necessary.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
