A Paper at RSDA in Berlin!

Back in beautiful Berlin for the first time since EuroClojure 2017, over the last few days I've been attending the 4th IEEE Workshop on Reliability and Security Data Analysis co-located with the 30th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering to present our paper Lost in Disclosure: On The Inference of Password Composition Poliies. In this work, we present and explore a straightfoward way of reverse-engineering password composition policy rules from large password data dumps. This information can then be used to clean up those datasets by removing non-password artifacts which are not compliant with the policies under which they were created. This is an important step in some of our other upcoming publications, which rely on high-quality real-world password data.
