Question

1.So for you late weekend posters, how strong do you think an 8 character password is to crack? See if you can find some data to show how much stronger a 10 character password would be, or how much weaker a 6 character password would be.

2.what the main sections of the HIPAA Security rules are (the main categories, at a high-level). What do you think prompted the US Congress to pass this law in the mid-1990's?

3.A struggle for information security professionals is how far the testing of security controls should go to verify the financial statements are accurate. For example, should you test remote access to the network? Those controls you would think would be far removed from the actual financial data as an attacker would need to break through various layers of controls until they gained access to a financial application. If an external auditor told you they had to test network controls for SOX, what might be a counter-argument you would give them to say that is overkill?

Explanation / Answer

1

Suppose we have special characters, alpha-numeric characters allowed in password.

combination required to crack a 8 characters password will be
=> 72^8; (26 for small alphabet + 26 for capital + 10 numeric characters + 10 for special characters)

so we need 72^8 - 72^6 more combinations to crack a 8 characters password.

The main sections of the HIPAA Security rules are
individually identifiable health information, called protected health information (PHI).

following are general entities it covered


US Congress was promoted to pass this law in the mid-1990's because they provide security for health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information.
