Collecting and exploiting confidential data (by breaking codes like Enigma), while keeping other classified information secure, was key to the wartime work at Bletchley Park. Now, with everyone using the internet, protecting your data is more important than ever.
For #saferinternetday Jon Gibson, Bletchley Park’s Cyber Learning Officer, and Helen Rabe, the BBC’s Chief Information Security Officer, sat down to discuss how you can keep safe on the internet.

About Bletchley Park -
Bletchley Park is a vibrant heritage attraction and museum, open daily to visitors.
It was the home of British World War Two codebreaking; a place where technological innovation and human endeavour came together to make ground-breaking achievements that have helped shape the world we live in today.
This unique site was previously a vast Victorian estate, where parts including the Mansion still survive, expanding during wartime to accommodate Codebreakers Huts and Blocks.
During World War Two, the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), now known as the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), was based at Bletchley Park. It grew from a small team of specialists to a vast intelligence factory of thousands of dedicated women and men. This extraordinary combination of brilliant and determined people and cutting-edge technology contributed significantly to Allied victory. In tough conditions, they provided vital intelligence and developed pioneering technological innovation that had a direct and profound influence on the outcome of the war.
The site continues to reveal secrets and tell fascinating stories of our national legacy.

My pass word system started with a BASIC program that produces a file of 490,500 randomly generated ASCII characters from 33 to 126 with each character produced about 5,270 times each. The program doesn't allow the same character twice in a row. ABA is allowed but AAB is not. I can then randomly select a group of characters, of any length, from anywhere in the file. Since it would be very difficult to remember, the passwords are saved in a text file hidden on the hard drive. Of course the file is not call "password" so if you don't know the actual name good luck finding it.
