<div><span>Dear all, </span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><span>I am Hazel Murray, a final year PhD student from Ireland. I am studying password security and authentication.
</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>In my research I am measuring the trade-off that exists between the costs and benefits of securing authentication systems.
</span></div>
<div><br>
<div><span>Myself and my supervisor, Prof. David Malone, are carrying out a survey aimed at system administrators, IT services staff and anyone in charge of security and authentication for an organisation.
</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>The survey is investigating the time and costs that are associated with enforcing different authentication rules.
</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>Would anyone be able to complete this 10 minute survey please:</span><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also feel free to circulate it to anyone you think might be interested. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>We do also have a second survey exploring burdens on users which is here if you are interested:
