-OpenSSL's key derivation routines use a salt to guard against dictionary attacks on the pass phrase; still it is important to pick a pass phrase that is hard to guess. The Diceware method (see
-\fIwww.diceware.com\fR\&[2]) can be used to create passphrases that are difficult to guess and easy to remember.
