Critic of the 1979 password recommendations by Morris and Thompson from todays pov and Proposal of a scheme to analyze all passwords with a ‚secret‘ key available ‚only‘ to scientists.🙈
Password cracking in 1979 was a bit different from today. The Morris/Thompson recommendations did cause the cracking schemes to adapt.
And then followed 45 years where IT security and gov bodies did not react to this evolution.
But sure, blame the first paper.💁🏻♂️
