Presentation Transcript

  1. Security in a digital world — Passwords, Biometrics and OTPs (and why secrets are core to safety)

  2. Bashing passwords as vulnerable means of online security is quite common these days. Sure — authentication means like biometrics, OTP, mobile, etc., do sound fancy and are touted as cornerstones in future security practices.

  3. authentication practices: Interestingly, these three ancient methods of verification still do represent the fundamental principles of modern authentication practices: What you know — Passwords/PIN What you have — Seal/OTP/Credit Card/Tokens Who you are — Biometrics/Body tattoos

  4. How passwords work A hash is a one-way pseudo-random function, which means that it can produce a random text from a password.

  5. How hackers hack passwords • To hack passwords, hackers create pre-created hash tables for all possible password combinations. • For the “ankit8388” password, a hash table of small letters and numbers of length 9 would be able to find a match.

  6. How passwords can be made more secure • As we discussed earlier hackers have been able to pool resources and pre-create hash tables hence making guessing of simple passwords really easy. Then what could be the way to make their life hard? Increase the combinations, of course. And the usual way of doing it has been to increase possible inputs: • Alphabet (Small letters and caps) — 52 • Numbers — 10 • Special characters — 33
