Discussion Text
Weak passwords may be easily guessed. When passwords are used to encrypt keys used for encryption of sensitive data, the confidentiality of all data encrypted using that key is at risk.
Current DOD passwords require the following:
- minimum of 15 characters;
- at least one uppercase character;
- one lowercase character;
- one special character;
- one numeric character, and
- at least eight characters changed from the previous password.
