Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies conducted in local government entities in Poland. The study focused on the authentication of users in information systems; the survey was addressed to users and organizations. The interviews conducted with the civil servants were followed by an attempt to crack their user account passwords by means of brute force, dictionary attacks and hybrid attacks. The study helped to identify the key factors influencing the construction of weak passwords. An alternative method of authentication was presented. The effectiveness of the new method was verified. A prototype of the authorization system in the form of a program was made available to users for evaluation.
