NAME
opiegen - Example OPIE-based OTP generator
SYNOPSIS
opiegen [
challenge ]
DESCRIPTION
opiegen takes a properly formed OTP challenge either from the command line or from
standard input, prompts the user for a secret pass phrase, and generates an
OTP response to that challenge. It is intended as an example for programmers
of how a simple OTP generator can be built. Users should probably use the
opiekey program instead.
EXAMPLE
wintermute$ opiegen otp-md5 495 wi01309
Secret Pass Phrase:
GILL HUED GOES CHUM LIEU VAIN
wintermute$
BUGS
opiegen(1) can lull a user into revealing his/her password when remotely logged in, thus
defeating the purpose of OPIE. This is especially a problem with xterm.
opiegen(1) implements simple checks to reduce the risk of a user making
this mistake. Better checks are needed.
