This blog post summarizes the results from my Jupyter notebook, which can be viewed here. The notebook is hosted on Github. You might be wondering what a password card has to do with electrical engineering and Python. The field of Electrical Engineering is very diverse and encompasses topics that range from the generation, transmission and conversion of electric power to topics such as electronics and computers, which cover the storage and transmission of information. The password card touches on the area of information theory.
The Jupyter notebook describes the use of a password card and the Python code that generates the password card. The password card is a grid of random letters, numbers and special characters that provides a convenient aid to generate and remember long and complex passwords. A basic description of the password card and instructions are provided along with the Python code used to generate the password card. A security analysis and an analysis of alternatives is provided.
A sample card is shown below:
