| Feb 17, 2000 - Protecting Passwords with a One-way Hash Function | | Peter Persits’ article shows that the path to a password-protected Web site involves using one-way hash functions. The hash-based password-protection method uses an encryption algorithm that does not require a key and produces an irreversibly encrypted cipher-text. Even if your site’s password database is compromised, it’s still tough for an intruder to recover the original passwords because they are stored by their one-way encrypted values. Persits also demonstrates a third-party component that is necessary to compute the one-way hash function of a string in the ASP environment.

| Feb 11, 1999 - Programming a Visual Basic Component to Change NLTM Passwords | | The application we will develop in this article is a browser-based Windows NT domain account password-changing utility that runs as a component in an MTS package on IIS and is accessible via the Internet. While IIS 4.0 provides native account password-changing functionality through the use of .htr files and an Internet Server API (ISAPI) extension, it does not provide for easy modification and does not run as an MTS component by default. The application we will develop demonstrates an extensible framework that could be easily enhanced to provide additional account-maintenance functionality specific to your individual requirements.
