Ce travail vise à déterminer la propension à la création de mots de passe à travers le prisme de sphères linguistiques. À cette fin, nous considérons quatre pays différents, chacun avec une culture/langue différente : Chine/chinois, Royaume-Uni (UK) et Inde/anglais, et Japon/japonais. Nous utilisons d'abord une étude utilisateur pour vérifier si la langue et la culture sont reflétées dans la création de mots de passe. Nous avons constaté que les utilisateurs en Inde, au Japon et au Royaume-Uni préfèrent créer leurs mots de passe à partir de mots de base, et que les types de mots qu'ils incorporent dans les mots de passe varient d'un pays à l'autre. Nous testons ensuite si les résultats obtenus grâce à l’étude des utilisateurs se reflètent dans un corpus de mots de passe divulgués. Nous avons constaté que les utilisateurs en Chine et au Japon préfèrent les dates, tandis que les utilisateurs en Inde, au Japon et au Royaume-Uni préfèrent les noms. Nous avons également constaté que des mots culturels (par exemple « sakura » au Japon et « football » au Royaume-Uni) sont fréquemment utilisés pour créer des mots de passe. Enfin, nous démontrons que les connaissances sur le bagage linguistique des utilisateurs ciblés peuvent être exploitées pour augmenter la vitesse du processus de recherche de mots de passe.

Abstract: This work aims to determine the propensity of password creation through the lens of language spheres. To this end, we consider four different countries, each with a different culture/language: China/Chinese, United Kingdom (UK) and India/English, and Japan/Japanese. We first employ a user study to verify whether language and culture are reflected in password creation. We found that users in India, Japan, and the UK prefer to create their passwords from base words, and the kinds of words they are incorporated into passwords vary between countries. We then test whether the findings obtained through the user study are reflected in a corpus of leaked passwords. We found that users in China and Japan prefer dates, while users in India, Japan, and the UK prefer names. We also found that cultural words (e.g., “sakura” in Japan and “football” in the UK) are frequently used to create passwords. Finally, we demonstrate that the knowledge on the linguistic background of targeted users can be exploited to increase the speed of the password guessing process.
