Measuring the Usability and Security of Permuted Passwords on Mobile Platforms

April 25, 2016
Author(s)
Kristen K. Greene, John M. Kelsey, Joshua M. Franklin
Password entry on mobile devices significantly impacts both usability and security, but there is a lack of usable security research in this area, specifically for complex password entry. To address this research gap, we set out to assign strength metrics

Predictive Models for Min-Entropy Estimation

September 13, 2015
Author(s)
John M. Kelsey, Kerry McKay, Meltem Sonmez Turan
Random numbers are essential for cryptography. In most real-world systems, these values come from a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), which in turn is seeded by an entropy source. The security of the entire cryptographic system then
