Package description for 'apg'

A random password generator

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