France Outlaws Hashed Passwords

Recommended Posts

"Storing passwords as hashes instead of plain text is now illegal in France, according to a draconian new data retention law. According to the BBC, '[t]he law obliges a range of e-commerce sites, video and music services and webmail providers to keep a host of data on customers. This includes users' full names, postal addresses, telephone numbers and passwords. The data must be handed over to the authorities if demanded.' If the law survives a pending legal challenge by Google, Ebay and others, it may well keep some major services out of the country entirely."

Hm..am inteles bine? Adica este ilegal sa se pastreze parolele doar hashed? Pai pentru ce dracu' s-au mai inventat algoritmii one-way?

Vor sa pastreze parolele in plain-text ca sa poata fi folosite de autoritati (sau hackeri) cum le-o fi norocu.

Hahaha, aceeasi reactie am avut-o si eu si am citit de 3 ori, credeam ca nu vad bine. Deci, autoritatile nu prea sunt in stare sa 'decripteze' (faca bruteforce pe hash) asa ca au dat o lege in care este interzisa folosirea algoritmilor ca ei sa le aiba 'vizibile' atunci cand le cer? Si credeam ca doar Romania exceleaza la capitolul 'legile vazduhului', dar se pare ca nu suntem singurii!

Vor fi mai mult folosite de hackeri..probabil in totalitate :))

Cel mai probabil legea asta a plecat de la unu, pentru care cel mai complex lucru pe care-l stie din IT e sa-si verifice mail-urile. Cam asa parca-i si cu cei de aleg subiectele pentru bac, din ce am auzit de la profesori: aleg subiectele persoane care n-au predat in viata lor unei clase de elevi.

Hm... e bine ca-s multi cei ce n-au treaba cu legea.
