Description

Dave Smith

This class can generate code and rhythm for user entered password based on ultra-paranoid computing.

It will generate a secret random password that the users must enter at a given rhythm.

The user can be trained to learn to enter the password at a rhythm that can be made faster to improve his muscle memory.

The security of a password protected system depends often on the level of difficulty of guessing passwords used by the users. Hard to guess passwords reduces the chances of success of brute force attacks.

However, hard to guess passwords are also more difficult to memorize by the users.

This class implements a method to help training the users to memorize and enter difficult passwords.

            <h4>Paranoid Passcode Trainer</h4>


            <p>


                This trainer will teach your muscle memory a unique passcode as part of ultra-paranoid computing. The passcode


                consists of a set keystrokes on a number pad combined with a rhythm that keys are pressed. Repeating the same


                sequence, faster and faster over time will program the passcode into your muscle memory. Once you have mastered


                it in real time, you will be able to use this passcode as an authentication factor greater than biometrics.


            </p>


            <p>


                Make sure your number pad has its numlock on. When you start, you will be presented with a brief pause as the four


                corners light up and then your passcode training starts. Attempt to press the corresponding key when the


                indicator is half full. Once you have mastered a slower speed, increase the trainer to the next level.
