Security analysis and prevention strategy of password padlock

I. Preface

With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's safety awareness, password padlocks have been widely used in daily life. However, while enjoying convenience, we should also pay attention to its security. This paper will start with the working principle of password padlock, analyze its security and put forward corresponding preventive measures.

Second, brief introduction to the working principle of password padlock

Password padlock usually consists of shell, dial and internal mechanical structure. When in use, the user can unlock or lock the lock by rotating the dial and inputting a preset password sequence. At present, the common types of password padlocks on the market mainly include digital combination, letter combination and graphic pattern. Different types of password padlocks have different performances in terms of security because of their internal structural differences.

Third, the security risks of password padlocks

1. Cracking risk: If you set too simple password or password combination with strong regularity (such as "1234" and "abcd"), it will be easily guessed by others;

2. Risk of physical damage: Some products with poor quality may have problems such as thin and fragile shell materials, and may even be forcibly opened by violent means;

3. Risk of leakage of wiping marks: The password keys frequently used for a long time will leave obvious wiping marks, which provides clues for people with ulterior motives;

4. Risk of internal design defects: Many low-end brand products lack strict quality control procedures, which leads to various failures, such as being stuck and unable to open/close normally;

Fourth, suggestions to improve the security of password padlocks

In view of the problems mentioned above, we can take the following measures to strengthen the protection effect:

1. Set a password with high complexity: Try to avoid choosing numbers that are easy to be guessed, such as birthdays and telephone numbers, as one of the password elements. Instead, we should use a mixed form of uppercase and lowercase letters+special characters+numbers to form a new password with high strength and hard to remember;

2. Change passwords regularly: regularly updating passwords that have been set and have not been changed for a long time can further increase the difficulty of cracking;

3. Choose a reliable brand model: it is best to consult the relevant evaluation information and after-sales service terms before buying to ensure that the selected style has good quality and improve the after-sales support system;

4. Strengthen physical protection: try to install a metal anti-pry cover at the keyhole to prevent violent attacks;

5. Pay attention to personal privacy management: clean up fingerprints or other marks that may be left in time after use to avoid revealing important information;

V. Conclusion

Although the password padlock has brought great convenience to our life, there are also many potential threats. Therefore, in the process of purchasing and using, we need to pay attention to the quality of products and brand reputation, and formulate a reasonable safety management plan in combination with the actual situation, so as to protect our property from infringement to the greatest extent.
