THE SECURITY OF IT RESOURCES PROTECTED BY PASSWORDS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2015, Vol 178, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents the protection effectiveness assessment of the contents of files created using an office suite. The protection effectiveness is understood as the time required for obtaining a password blocking the access to IT resources. IT resources are files containing data of varying degrees of sensitivity. The study analysed the time it takes to crack a password for different types of information resources. It has been shown that passwords consisting of five or a smaller number of characters, and can be found in less than 1.5 hours. Such a short time needed to find the password does not guarantee the effective protection of the contents of the file. This, in turn, makes it possible to breach of confidentiality attribute of an IT resource.
