The operating system must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used.
Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must require the change of at least 50 percent of the total number of characters when passwords are changed.
If the operating system allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attemp...Rule Medium Severity -
The operating system must transmit only encrypted representations of passwords.
