Password Security: A Case History

by Robert Morris, Ken Thompson

This paper describes the history of the design of the
password security scheme on a remotely accessed timesharing
system. The present design was the result of
countering observed attempts to penetrate the system.
The result is a compromise between extreme security
and ease of use.
