Security

This is a guest article I wrote for the newsletter of a friend of mine who’s an Estate Planner.

Almost every digital or monetary asset you own is protected by a password. Some service providers, like investment brokers require multiple pieces of information, like your social security number, account number, date of birth, etc. These are all things that a provider assumes only you know. Once these secrets are known to others your asset is compromised. So in order to keep these secrets safe, you need to do two things: prevent others from being able to view these secrets, and prevent others from being able to guess them.

Here are the slides and links from my recent Blitz Talk on password security at SecondConf.
