Ultra High Security Password Generator

If some device was not following the WiFi Alliance WPA specification by not hashing the entire printable ASCII character set correctly, it would end up with a different 256-bit hash result than devices that correctly obeyed the specification. It would then be unable to connect to any network that uses the full range of printable ASCII characters. Since we have heard unconfirmed anecdotal reports of such non-compliant WPA devices (and since you might have one), this page also offers "junior" WPA password strings using only the "easy" ASCII characters which even any non-fully-specification-compliant device would have to be able to properly handle. And don't worry for a moment about using an easy ASCII key. Shorter pieces are random too: A beneficial property of these maximum entropy pseudo-random passwords is their lack of "inter-symbol memory." When does size matter? Since its introduction, this Perfect Passwords page has generated a great deal of interest.

idproxy.net: Use your Yahoo! account as an OpenID In an ideal world, some or all of the sites with large user databases (Yahoo!, AOL, Google, Amazon and so on) would act as OpenID providers, allowing their users to sign in to OpenID supporting sites around the Web. Until that happens, people who want to use OpenID need to sign up for Yet Another Account to do so. idproxy.net , launched today, is my attempt at speeding up the process. In effect, it lets you use your Yahoo! Phishing protection I’ve built in a couple of features to help protect users against phishing attempts. The first is based on Andreas Gohr’s MonsterID . The second is a landing page based on my suggestion from last week, which requires you to log in manually or with a bookmark rather than presenting you with a login link directly. The nature of the site means that a successful phishing attack would have to compromise your Yahoo! Other providers An older (unreleased) version of the site included support for Flickr, Upcoming and Google authentication.
