The Authentication Equation: A Tool to Visualize the Convergence of Security and Usability of Text-Based Passwords

摘要: Password management is a ubiquitous struggle of the modern human. Despite usability playing vital role in authentication, many password policies and requirements focus on security without sufficient consideration human factors. In fact, needs are often contention. Until an improved authentication method beyond character input implemented large scale, developing new methodologies for balancing competing vital. This research project focused building data visualization tool to explore metrics. The integrates various measurements passwords, enabling exploration intersection their components. based insight from previously gathered studies conducted at United States National Institute Standards Technology. It also leverages web technologies flexibly display sets computed passwords. available https://github.com/usnistgov/DataVis.
