vt-password: Develop Entropy-Based Password Strength Evaluation #141

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Password strength can be measured in entropy of the characters comprising the 
password string. Develop a Rule that computes password strength in terms of 
entropy and allow setting threshold values on entropy whereby rule validation 
fails is the computed entropy is below the threshold.

The computation of entropy should be based on an accepted standard or 
algorithm.  NIST special publication 800-63-1 provides a suitable standard in 
"Appendix A: Estimating Entropy and Strength":
