It uses several password [T] generation algorithms (currently two) and a built-in pseudo random [T] number generator. [T] [T] Default algorithm is pronounceable password generation algorithm [T] designed by Morrie Gasser and described in A Random Word Generator For [T] Pronounceable Passwords National Technical Information Service (NTIS) [T] AD-A-017676. The original paper is very old and had never been put [T] online, so I have to use NIST implementation described in FIPS-181. [T] [T] Another algorithm is simple random character generation algorithm, but [T] it uses four user-defined symbol sets to produce random password. It [T] means that user can choose type of symbols that should appear in pass- [T] word. Symbol sets are: numeric symbol set (0,...,9) , capital letters [T] symbol set (A,...,Z) , small letters symbol set (a,...,z) and special [T] symbols symbol set (#,@,!,...). [T] [T] apg also have the ability to check generated password quality using [T] dictionary. [U] http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/ [A] Adel I.
