The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TOTP: Time-based One-time Password Algorithm' (draft-mraihi-totp-timebased-08.txt) as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Sean Turner. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mraihi-totp-timebased/ Technical Summary This document describes an extension of one-time password (OTP) algorithm, namely the HAMC-Based One-Time Password (HOTP) Algorithm as defined in RFC 4226, to support time-based moving factor. The HOTP algorithm specifies an event based OTP algorithm where the moving factor is an event counter. The present work bases the moving factor on a time value. A time-based variant of the OTP algorithm provides short-lived OTP values, which are desirable for enhanced security. The authors believe that a common and shared algorithm will facilitate adoption of two-factor authentication on the Internet by enabling interoperability across commercial and open-source implementations. Working Group Summary This document was developed outside the IETF, namely in the OATH community. A number of OATH members participated in the IETF KEYPROV working group and brought this work forward to the IETF. Document Quality This document is an AD-sponsored submission and has enjoyed review within the OATH community. Implementations of the specification exist. Personnel Hannes Tschofenig <Hannes.Tschofenig@gmx.net> is the document shepherd for this document. Sean Turner <turners@ieca.com> is the sponsoring Area Director.
