Re: CFC - Accessible Authentication and issue responses (-1, objection)

Hi John

I've read through the study I believe you are referring to in “Clinical
Assessment, Computerized Methods, and Instrumentation” by F.J. Maarse,
L.J.M. Mulder, A.N. Brand, A.E. Akkerman.

It is an interesting study. It appears to me that all of the participants
in the study were able to complete the task of copying numbers. There were
no brick walls in this particular study.

The Inter Response Intervals (IRI) were longer for those with short term
memory loss it also found that as the exercise is repeated the digits shift
from short term to long term memory and response times become quicker.
Therefore it is reasoned that the IRI can be used to measure short term
memory capacity.
The variation in IRI was from 400ms to 1100 ms. This is the amount of time
taken between typing one number and the next. In this study there were 5
numbers in each string.

If there were 20 numbers in the string which is the outer limit of most
passwords, I think it could be reasoned that the slowest participant would
have taken 2200 ms or 22 seconds give that they were memorizing one number
at a time and copying it.

It appears to me from this study that the issue is not about the inability
to copy digits, but rather how long it takes to copy. The important concern
appears to be about *how long* a user has to enter the number. Would it
make sense that this become the requirement for this SC... that users have
enough time to enter the information, and if so, is it not covered in SC
2.2.1 "timing adjustable" which requires that users have up to 10 times the
default of any timed event, including password entry?

If the proposal is that it is not possible to hold one number in short term
memory, and therefore transcribing is a brick wall, then I think we need
another study to demonstrate that, as in this one all participants could
transcribe the numbers.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
