Desert Breeze Substation
251 North Desert Breeze Blvd
Chandler, AZ 85226
The Desert Breeze Substation is on Chandler Blvd and Desert Breeze
+Blvd, which is half way between McClintock and Rural. It is very close
to both the south 202 and 101 freeways. Public transportation is
available into the late hours.
To get to the room that we meet, just enter the door that faces Desert
Breeze and make your first left, you can't miss it, as it's the only
place to go.
We have 2 topics for this months:
Topic: Good Password Verification
Abstract: A customer's perspective on password verification. Just
because the cloud claims your data is encrypted and password protected
doesn't mean it really is.
Companies should publicly disclose their password encryption schemes to
encourage auditing and customer trust.
The discussion will cover why password verification should be quick to
human perception, but take effort from the computer's perspective. It
will also cover better encryption for SSH private keys as a specific case.
