Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 13, Problem 13.9E
Explanation of Solution
Validating a password protection system:
Verification and validation processes for a password protection system must focus on security assessment.
Validating a password protection systems are:
- First one needs to identify possible threats. Some of the threats for password protection system are:
- Attacker gains access without a password.
- Attacker guesses a password of an authorized user.
- Users make passwords available to attackers.
- Attacker uses a password cracking tool to discover passwords of authorized users...

I would appreciate it if you could explain the need of designing a challenge-response authentication system so that I may have a better understanding of it. Solutions that rely on passwords are far less secure than the one that has been implemented here.
I would appreciate it if you could provide some insight on the significance of developing a challenge-response authentication system. On the other hand, methods that rely on passwords are far more susceptible to security breaches.
Discuss the password management including the concept of the strongpassword for the system you are tasked to develop.
