INDEX ENTRY FOR S/KEY (TM):
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Name: S/KEY - One-time password system
Version: Not stated, June 1994
Author(s): Phil Karn, Neil M. Haller, John Walden <nmh@bellcore.com>
Ftp source: ftp.bellcore.com:/pub/nmh/skey
Note, there is no tar archive in the skey directory, so you must
mget individual files. The directory /pub/nmh/nrl does contain
archive files for another version of skey.
MD5 Checksums: in the file "hashes.asc" in the distribution
Description:
S/KEY is a proceedure for using one time password to authen-
ticate access to compter systems. It uses 64 bits of infor-
mation transformed by either the MD4 algorithm or the (stronger)
MD5 algorithm. The user supplies the 64 bits in the form of 6
English words that are generated by a secure computer, such as a
pocket sized smart card, a PC, a Macin- tosh, or a machine at
work and printed on a sheet of paper.
-- Quoted from the man page in the distribution.
The IETF has standardized an S/KEY-like system called OTP; see
RFC 1938 for more information. The reference distribution
of S/KEY does not conform to RFC 1938. Bellcore markets a
commercial distribution that does conform.
NOTE: a recent program posted to the net claims to be able to
break MD4 based skeys; so better compile with MD5 turned on.
Advertised architectures:
Not stated.
Prerequisites: C Compiler
