Non quis, sed quid.

Program Description
With the growing popularity of the internet and the ease at which people can publish their information, comes an increase in the number of websites we visit and register to.

Usually, when you register to a site, you need to remember a username and password in order to log back in to that account you made. If you are security conscious (which, I find, is quite rare on the internet at this moment) and have a different password for each site, this eventually adds up to a really large number of passwords you need to remember. If this sounds like you, then you’ll find KeePass by Dominik Reichl very useful.

KeePass is an amazing little password manager whose databases are encrypted with the strongest encryption algorithms known (at the time of posting) – AES and Twofish – and a secure password generator (depending on your settings). Since this application is open source, you can easily look through the code yourself to see if there are any backdoors or malicious code that may compromise your security.

As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It’s true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code. For us, open source isn’t just a business model; it’s smart engineering practice.
