Overview#

One-Time Password System (RFC 2289) describes a One-Time password authentication system ([OTP]).

The system provides authentication for system access (login) and other applications requiring authentication that is secure against passive attacks based on replaying captured reusable passwords.

One-Time Password System evolved from the S-KEY One-Time Password System that was released by Bellcore.
