When: 2023-09-09, 19:00 CEST Where: Svartbäcksgatan 65, 753 33 Uppsala Stream: https://bbb.cryptoparty.se/b/upd-0mo-m2u-aq8 Passwords, please. This year marks the sixtieth year since passwords were first documented as being used with computers. Nowadays, entering your username and password is still one of the most common approaches to access services. And yet, despite this long time, we still cannot seem to get them quite right. In this talk we will start with a survey of the history of password security from the first time shared systems, to the modern ways to protect them. We will then discuss what makes a good password and provide tips on how to generate them. Finally we will introduce some of the latest developments in the field of password security. Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (Chalmers) The lecture is free and open to everyone. It is part of our programme on Kulturnatten (Culture Night) Uppsala. >From 15:00 to 22:00 the Update Computer Club exhibits computers from the 1960s and onwards, and presents their technologies and the culture around them. See classics like the PDP-8 and PDP-11, try out the Commodore 64, and play the legendary arcade game Asteroids on original hardware with us. Don't want to miss upcoming events?
