Secure Password StorageAdded by Papergrl
Description:
Passwords, the keys to our networks, Safeguards of our information privacy, financial transactions, intellectual property - sometimes even our physical security! How do we store and protect these keys, yet present them immediately for use when: a Sysadmin takes up extreme sports - with disastrous results -- and is no longer there to help, even over the phone? The "big one" finally hits and the IT staff are headed for a recovery hot site? A critical password is simply forgotten or lost? This is a challenge that faces IT shops of almost any size. Passwords/authentication methods must be protected from unauthorized disclosure and tampering but must also be readily available to allow fast recovery in the event of a service interruption or loss of personnel. Coming up with a secure method to archive and retrieve passwords for my company has become one of my personal goals.
