Password Generator
STATUS OF THIS
This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community.
on the ARPA Internet that choose to implement a Password
Protocol (PWDGEN) are expected to adopt and implement this standard
Distribution of this memo is unlimited
Many security-conscious host administrators are becoming
aware that user-selected login passwords are too easy to guess
even casual penetration attempts. Some sites have
dictionary lookup techniques in their password programs to
ordinary words from being used. Others have implemented some
of a randomly generated password with mixed success. The
arises from the fact that such passwords are difficult to
because they cannot be pronounced or are based on a relatively
cycle pseudo-random number generator
A version of the PWDGEN algorithm briefly described below has been
use for several years at a small number of sites in the Internet
Interest has recently been expressed at porting this algorithm
other sites. However, the relatively short cycle and the
randomness of the pseudo-random number generator available on
sites tends to interfere with the intended result of minimizing
potential duplication of passwords both within a site and
sites when a user has access to more than one site
The PWDGEN Service described herein provides a means for sites
offer a list of possible passwords for the user to choose one
the first set, or optionally select from another set. With more
one site offering this service, it is then possible to
select which site to use and have multiple fallback sites should
site be unavailable
The PWDGEN Service provides a set of six randomly
eight-character CRLF-delimited "words" with a reasonable level
pronounceability, using a multi-level algorithm.
implementation of the algorithm is available in FORTRAN-77
examination and possible implementation by system

RFC 972 January 1986
Password Generator
The uniqueness of the generated words is highly dependent on
randomness of the initial seed value used. The availability of
single system-wide seed, updated after each access is
desireable. Seeds based on a time-of-day clock are unacceptable
Seed values should be stored as values in excess of 32 bits
best performance
TCP Based PWDGEN
One PWDGEN service is defined as a connection based application
TCP. A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 129.
a connection is established, the six CRLF-delimited words
generated and sent to the caller, and the connection is closed
the server. No dialog is used or required
UDP Based PWDGEN
Another possible PWDGEN service is defined as a datagram
application on UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on
port 129. When a datagram is received, the six CRLF-
words are sent back in an answering datagram

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
