  2. ssh-keygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-keygen

    Requests changing the passphrase of a private key file instead of creating a new private key. -t Specifies the type of key to create (e.g., rsa). -o Use the new OpenSSH format. -q quiets ssh-keygen. It is used by the /etc/rc file while creating a new key. -N Provides a new Passphrase. -B Dumps the key's fingerprint in Bubble Babble format. -l

  3. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    PBKDF2 applies a pseudorandom function, such as hash-based message authentication code (HMAC), to the input password or passphrase along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key, which can then be used as a cryptographic key in subsequent operations.

  4. Diceware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware

    For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is then used to look up a word in a cryptographic word list. In the original Diceware list 43146 corresponds to munch. By generating several words in ...

  5. ssh-agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-agent

    Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography.SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa).

  6. Passphrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passphrase

    A passphrase is a sequence of words or other text used to control access to a computer system, program or data. It is similar to a password in usage, but a passphrase is generally longer for added security.

  7. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    Attempt possible combinations of the weaker initial key, potentially commencing with a dictionary attack if the initial key is a password or passphrase, but the attacker's added effort for each trial could render the attack uneconomic should the costlier computation and memory consumption outweigh the expected profit

  8. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    In cryptography, a brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases until the correct one is found.

  9. Open Source Tripwire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Tripwire

    The local passphrase is used to protect files on a specific machine. The policy file contains the list of files and directories to scan and the rules (e.g. which attributes of the directory tree to look at). [2] Open Source Tripwire later asks for the local passphrase when creating an initial database with file signatures. It runs the first ...
