Abstract
Passwords. The keys to our networks. Safeguards of our information privacy, financial transactions, intellectual property - sometimes even our physical security! How do we store and protect these keys, is a challenge that faces IT shops of almost any size. Passwords/authentication methods must be protected from unauthorized disclosure and tampering but must also be readily available to allow fast recovery in the event of a service interruption or loss of personnel. This paper addresses secure methods to archive and retrieve passwords.
