Hazel Murray, a PhD researcher under the supervision of Dr David Malone at CONNECT in Maynooth University, has won the Best Student Paper Award at the 28th Irish Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC) in Killarney, Co Kerry.
Hazel’s paper entitled “Evaluating Password Advice” examines the advice currently given when creating a password online. This advice varies widely from website to website and Hazel’s paper explores common threads while also creating a framework for identifying the costs for businesses associated with implementing this password advice. Through this methodology, the paper lays out reasons why password advice is so often ignored by users.
