We had a number of odd discussions, one of which referred to password policies. I promised to provide a list of links that contain general password policy guidelines. Here are several:
- http://riit.smeal.psu.edu/privacy-and-security-policies/pwdpolicy.pdf
- http://www.psc.edu/general/policies/passwords/
- http://policies.lakeheadu.ca/policy.php?pid=168
- http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/computing/security/password/passwordpolicy.htm
- http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itame.doc_6.0/rev/am60_cmdref194.htm
- http://www.pueblo.us/documents/Policies/PasswordPolicy0106.pdf
- http://www.securitydocs.com/pdf/3410.PDF
- http://www.usm.edu/infosec/pw-policy.php
I suspect that if you look through these, you will find that there is a common core of items that make the most sense.
I was to also provide a link to that video I showed. The location is: http://www.toolsfortheclassroom.com/
This is not where I got the video from, as it was a paste in an IM last wek, so I decided to have a look. Lots of interesting stuff there.
