			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m still trying to decide how these can best be used for web passwords to banking, credit cards, etc.  But <a title="Gibson Research Corp, Perfect Paper Passwords" href="https://www.grc.com/ppp.htm" target="_blank">this</a> is one of the niftiest cryptography ideas I&#8217;ve seen this year.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Almost without exception, today&#8217;s Internet users prove their identity online using a fixed account name and password. In the past, this simple system provided sufficient security. But with the growing popularity of online banking and eCommerce, the value of stealing online identities has skyrocketed. And the increasing presence and &#8220;spyware&#8221; and &#8220;malware&#8221; on innocent users&#8217; computers means that users can be &#8220;watched&#8221; while logging onto their banking and other eCommerce sites. Once their logon credentials have been &#8220;captured&#8221; and stolen, Internet criminals can easily assume their identity.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The trouble with a username and password is that they never change. We create them, write them down or memorize them, then use them over and over again. What has been needed is an inexpensive system that provides something which changes everytime it is used. GRC&#8217;s Perfect Paper Passwords system offers a simple, safe and secure, free and well documented solution that is being adopted by a growing number of security-conscious Internet facilities to provide their users with state-of-the-art cryptographic logon security.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>And&#8230;  this PPP implementation can even be done in <a title="Perfect Paper Passwords, in PHP" href="https://www.grc.com/ppp/software.htm" target="_blank">PHP</a> [<a title="Orson Jones, Perfect Paper Passwords" href="http://tetratech.info/orson/ppp/" target="_blank">direct link</a>], although the authors page is broken at the moment.  An alternate author is <a title="Perfect Paper Passwords, PHP implementation by Daniel Hodder" href="http://www.dnh.net.nz/open/class/ppp" target="_blank">Daniel Hodder</a>, his page appears to be working at first blush.</p>
