Posted January 29, 2016 A UK company called Silicon Safe has designed a "box" that is intended to store passwords in a safe and secure manner. It can fit in a normal server rack mount and will only set you back £100,000!!!! ($140,000 US). Well... I still don't trust it, unless I know how it "sort of" operates. Saying that "It has the code stored on a chip so it's safe" does not cut it. Well, for me at least. Oh and don't forget the other security measure that is mentioned. "After four attempts to authenticate a password it will be flagged to the administrator". Wow... I am sure other software does this. "You want developers to know what they are doing including knowing how to store data correctly. That might be preferable to paying £100,000 for a box engineered for one specific purpose." This quote exactly, my point is why would a company pay that much money for a dedicated piece of hardware when there are other solutions which are cheaper. The only reason why there was mass password theft was a lot of the time because administrators where lazy and did not do their job properly.
