Scientists Release Working Prototype Of CAPTCHA-Based Password Assistant


An anonymous reader writes "Last year Slashdot ran a story on scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany developing a novel method to improve password security. A strong long password is split in two parts; the first part is memorized by a human, and the second part is stored as a CAPTCHA-like image of a chaotic lattice system. Today, after a year of work, the same group at Max Planck Institute released an working prototype online, where everybody can try this technology to encrypt files (Java plugin required)."
