| Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for |
| maximum security. Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted. |
| Note: The passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input (as used on some |
| products.) ASCII is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the |
| ASCII table, while a possibly larger passphrase is hashed into a key and provides |
| better security through a larger range of key values. |
