  The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft "A One-Time Password System"
  <draft-haller-otp-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is
  the product of the One Time Password Authentication Working Group.
  The IESG contact person is Jeffrey I. Schiller.


Technical Summary

  This document 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. OTP evolved from
  the S/KEY* One-Time Password System that was released by Bellcore.

Working Group Summary

  This document reflects the strong consensus of the working group.

Protocol Quality

  This specification has been reviewed by the Security Area Director,
  Jeffrey I. Schiller for the IESG.
