  2. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    A 2010 Georgia Tech Research Institute study based on unstretched keys recommended a 12-character random password but as a minimum length requirement. [5] [20] It pays to bear in mind that since computing power continually grows, to prevent offline attacks the required number of bits of entropy should also increase over time.

    • Avoid sequences or repeated characters - Don't use adjacent characters on your keyboard (QWERTY). • Use a different password for each site - Otherwise, if someone acquires one password, they could use it to access all of your accounts.

  4. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    A single remaining encoded character is not possible, because a single Base64 character only contains 6 bits, and 8 bits are required to create a byte, so a minimum of two Base64 characters are required: The first character contributes 6 bits, and the second character contributes its first 2 bits. For example:

  5. Password policy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_policy

    Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length Password systems should permit subscriber-chosen passwords at least 64 characters in length. All printing ASCII characters, the space character, and Unicode characters should be acceptable in passwords

  6. Orders of magnitude (data) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(data)

    Enough to uniquely identify one codon of genetic code. The size of code points in Base64; thus, often the entropy per character in a randomly-generated password. 7 bits – the size of code points in the ASCII character set – minimum length to store 2 decimal digits. 2 3: byte (B) 8 bits – (a.k.a. octet or octad(e)) on many computer ...

  7. Key size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size

    In cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher).. Key length defines the upper-bound on an algorithm's security (i.e. a logarithmic measure of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute-force attacks.

  8. Word count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_count

    But while the length of a novel is mainly dependent on its writer, [5] lengths may also vary by subgenre; many chapter books for children start at a length of about 16,000 words, [6] and a typical mystery novel might be in the 60,000 to 80,000 word range while a thriller could be well over 100,000 words. [7]

  9. Six-bit character code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bit_character_code

    A six-bit character code is a character encoding designed for use on computers with word lengths a multiple of 6. Six bits can only encode 64 distinct characters, so these codes generally include only the upper-case letters, the numerals, some punctuation characters, and sometimes control characters.
