  • CS Colloquium: Raheem Beyah (Georgia Tech) - Password Security, Measurement, and Correlation Quantification

    Thu, Oct 01, 2015 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Raheem Beyah, Georgia Tech

    Talk Title: Password Security, Measurement, and Correlation Quantification

    Series: CS Colloquium

    Abstract: In this talk, results from a large-scale study on the crackability, correlation, and security of over 115 million real world passwords that were leaked from several popular Internet services and applications will be presented. Additionally, I will discuss a prototype system that provides a uniform comprehensive research platform for password security, measurement, and correlation quantification. Using this system, we analyze and evaluate 11 state-of-the-art password cracking algorithms, systematically and comprehensively evaluate these algorithms in multiple scenarios and identify their advantages and disadvantages. The system further consists of the implementation of 8 academic password meters, and 15 commercial password checkers/meters (both online and offline versions) from the top 150 websites. We identify that some commercial meters do little to guide users to select strong passwords, and often lead users to select vulnerable passwords. Additionally, a password correlation quantification framework will be presented, which is used to provide the correlation of different password datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that our quantification is consistent with the cracking results and existing observations. Finally, I will summarize and discuss future research directions (e.g., hybrid password cracking, social profile-aware/hybrid password meters) and challenges of password research.
