An Observation About Passphrases: Syntax vs Entropy
Cryptography and Security
2016-03-22 v1
Abstract
On the premise that we are using passwords composed of multiple English words, we argue that using syntactically correct passphrases has no significant impact on the security in comparison to randomly arranged collections of words. We only analyze the contribution of the syntax itself. A comparison to the other kinds of passwords is out of the scope.
