Hide Your Input:

As more and more use of data base systems in the network is
considered, the need for and importance of using access keys,
passwords, etc. grows.  The fact that it is difficult to select the
length of input to be hidden is not a persuasive argument.  Potential
solutions seem to exist, e.g. the protocol could provide for accepting
length statements from the user program, data base system, operating
system, etc. and in default of this, use a default length representing
the server system expected optimum length.
