The paper appears to be very well thought through.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

At first I thought this was a smart ass comment regarding my affinity for bcrypt, at which I chuckled heartily. On second read, I think you were actually referring to the bcrypt spec.

And once you get passed the theory in the first section, very readable.
