== The Problem with Security Questions
|
||||
|
||||
We have already talked about Security questions a bit. A good security question should meet the following criteria:
|
||||
While Security Questions my at first seem like a good way for authentication of a user, they
|
||||
have some big problems.
|
||||
|
||||
- Safe: The answer should not be easy to research or guess.
|
||||
- Stable: The answer should be stable, meaning that it is not subject to change.
|
||||
- Memorable: The answer should be easy to remember.
|
||||
- Simple: The question should be: precise, easy and consistent.
|
||||
- Many: The question should have many possible answers.
|
||||
The "perfect" Security Question should be hard to crack, but easy to remember. Also the answer needs to fixed,
|
||||
so the answer must not be subject to change.
|
||||
|
||||
== Try It! Choosing a good security question.
|
||||
There are only a handful of questions which satisfy these criteria and practically none which apply to anybody.
|
||||
|
||||
In this assignment your goal is to good security question from the dropdown list below.
|
||||
The Assignment is complete when you picked a security question which is considered good.
|
||||
If you have to pick a security question, we recommend not answering them truthfully.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Some may say that one question is better than another, so this list is a bit subjective.
|
||||
But you should not be having any problem differencing between the good and bad.
|
||||
To further elaborate on the matter, there is a small assignment for you: There is a list of some common security questions.
|
||||
if you choose one, it will show to you why the question you picked is not really as good as one may think.
|
||||
|
||||
When you have looked at two questions the assignment will be marked as complete.
