== CISSP ==
Well, it's one of the CISSP questions, but let's have a closer look: <br>
* What is the BEST method of storing passwords for a system:
** password-protected file
** file restricted to one individual
** one-way encrypted file
** two-way encrypted file
 
Well, you may have guessed it already an one-way encrypted file is the correct answer. Of course there are other options so an encrypted password in the credential file works out well, too. <br> So if you're service provider keeps telling you that clear text password don't matter at all, that's a killer argument ;-)
