Class NumericalSequenceRule

java.lang.Object
  edu.vt.middleware.password.AbstractSequenceRule
      edu.vt.middleware.password.NumericalSequenceRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

Rule

public class NumericalSequenceRule
extends AbstractSequenceRule

Rule for determining if a password contains a numerical keyboard sequence. The default sequence length is 5 characters.

• Sequences are of the form: '23456'
• If wrap=true: '90123' will match
