    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager

    Password manager. A password manager is a computer program that allows users to store and manage their passwords [1] for local applications or online services such as web applications, online shops or social media. [2] A web browser generally has a built in version of a password manager. These have been criticised frequently as many have stored ...

  3. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated. This means that the particular outcome sequence will contain some patterns detectable in hindsight but impossible to foresee.

  4. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

  5. Random number generator attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack

    A high quality random number generation (RNG) process is almost always required for security, and lack of quality generally provides attack vulnerabilities and so leads to lack of security, even to complete compromise, in cryptographic systems. [1] The RNG process is particularly attractive to attackers because it is typically a single isolated ...

  6. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    Salt (cryptography) In cryptography, a salt is random data fed as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. [1] Salting helps defend against attacks that use precomputed tables (e.g. rainbow tables ), by vastly growing the size of table needed for a successful attack.

    It is especially important that these privileged editors have strong passwords. Administrators, bureaucrats , checkusers , stewards and oversighters discovered to have weak passwords , or to have had their accounts compromised by a malicious person, may have their accounts blocked and their privileges removed on grounds of site security.
