1.0 ABSTRACT

  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 (S/KEY is a trademark of
  Bellcore) One-Time Password System that was released by Bellcore and
  is described in references [3] and [5].

2.0 OVERVIEW

  One form of attack on networked computing systems is eavesdropping on
  network connections to obtain authentication information such as the
  login IDs and passwords of legitimate users. Once this information is
  captured, it can be used at a later time to gain access to the
  system. One-time password systems are designed to counter this type
  of attack, called a "replay attack" [4].

  The authentication system described in this document uses a secret
  pass-phrase to generate a sequence of one-time (single use)
  passwords.  With this system, the user's secret pass-phrase never
  needs to cross the network at any time such as during authentication



Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 1]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  or during pass-phrase changes. Thus, it is not vulnerable to replay
  attacks.  Added security is provided by the property that no secret
  information need be stored on any system, including the server being
  protected.

  The OTP system protects against external passive attacks against the
  authentication subsystem. It does not prevent a network eavesdropper
  from gaining access to private information and does not provide
  protection against either "social engineering" or active attacks [9].

3.0 INTRODUCTION

  There are two entities in the operation of the OTP one-time password
  system. The generator must produce the appropriate one-time password
  from the user's secret pass-phrase and from information provided in
  the challenge from the server. The server must send a challenge that
  includes the appropriate generation parameters to the generator, must
  verify the one-time password received, must store the last valid
  one-time password it received, and must store the corresponding one-
  time password sequence number. The server must also facilitate the
  changing of the user's secret pass-phrase in a secure manner.

  The OTP system generator passes the user's secret pass-phrase, along
  with a seed received from the server as part of the challenge,
  through multiple iterations of a secure hash function to produce a
  one-time password. After each successful authentication, the number
  of secure hash function iterations is reduced by one.  Thus, a unique
  sequence of passwords is generated.  The server verifies the one-time
  password received from the generator by computing the secure hash
  function once and comparing the result with the previously accepted
  one-time password.  This technique was first suggested by Leslie
  Lamport [1].

4.0 REQUIREMENTS TERMINOLOGY

  In this document, the words that are used to define the significance
  of each particular requirement are usually capitalized.  These words
  are:

    - MUST

      This word or the adjective "REQUIRED" means that the item is an
      absolute requirement of the specification.








Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


    - SHOULD

      This word or the adjective "RECOMMENDED" means that there might
      exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this
      item, but the full implications should be understood and the case
      carefully weighed before taking a different course.

    - MAY

      This word or the adjective "OPTIONAL" means that this item is
      truly optional.  One vendor might choose to include the item
      because a particular marketplace requires it or because it
      enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the
      same item.

5.0 SECURE HASH FUNCTION

  The security of the OTP system is based on the non-invertability of a
  secure hash function. Such a function must be tractable to compute in
  the forward direction, but computationally infeasible to invert.

  The interfaces are currently defined for three such hash algorithms,
  MD4 [2] and MD5 [6] by Ronald Rivest, and SHA [7] by NIST.  All
  conforming implementations of both server and generators MUST support
  MD5.  They SHOULD support SHA and MAY also support MD4.  Clearly, the
  generator and server must use the same algorithm in order to
  interoperate. Other hash algorithms may be specified for use with
  this system by publishing the appropriate interfaces.

  The secure hash algorithms listed above have the property that they
  accept an input that is arbitrarily long and produce a fixed size
  output. The OTP system folds this output to 64 bits using the
  algorithms in the Appendix A. 64 bits is also the length of the one-
  time passwords. This is believed to be long enough to be secure and
  short enough to be entered manually (see below, Form of Output) when
  necessary.

6.0 GENERATION OF ONE-TIME PASSWORDS

  This section describes the generation of the one-time passwords.
  This process consists of an initial step in which all inputs are
  combined, a computation step where the secure hash function is
  applied a specified number of times, and an output function where the
  64 bit one-time password is converted to a human readable form.

  Appendix C contains examples of the outputs given a collection of
  inputs.  It provides implementors with a means of verification the
  use of these algorithms.



Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  Initial Step

  In principle, the user's secret pass-phrase may be of any length. To
  reduce the risk from techniques such as exhaustive search or
  dictionary attacks, character string pass-phrases MUST contain at
  least 10 characters (see Form of Inputs below).  All implementations
  MUST support a pass-phrases of at least 63 characters.  The secret
  pass-phrase is frequently, but is not required to be, textual
  information provided by a user.

  In this step, the pass phrase is concatenated with a seed that is
  transmitted from the server in clear text. This non-secret seed
  allows clients to use the same secret pass-phrase on multiple
  machines (using different seeds) and to safely recycle their secret
  pass-phrases by changing the seed.

  The result of the concatenation is passed through the secure hash
  function and then is reduced to 64 bits using one of the function
  dependent algorithms shown in Appendix A.

  Computation Step

  A sequence of one-time passwords is produced by applying the secure
  hash function multiple times to the output of the initial step
  (called S). That is, the first one-time password to be used is
  produced by passing S through the secure hash function a number of
  times (N) specified by the user. The next one-time password to be
  used is generated by passing S though the secure hash function N-1
  times. An eavesdropper who has monitored the transmission of a one-
  time password would not be able to generate the next required
  password because doing so would mean inverting the hash function.

  Form of Inputs

  The secret pass-phrase is seen only by the OTP generator. To allow
  interchangeability of generators, all generators MUST support a
  secret pass-phrase of 10 to 63 characters. Implementations MAY
  support a longer pass-phrase, but such implementations risk the loss
  of interchangeability with implementations supporting only the
  minimum.

  The seed MUST consist of purely alphanumeric characters and MUST be
  of one to 16 characters in length. The seed is a string of characters
  that MUST not contain any blanks and SHOULD consist of strictly
  alphanumeric characters from the ISO-646 Invariant Code Set.  The
  seed MUST be case insensitive and MUST be internally converted to
  lower case before it is processed.




Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  The sequence number and seed together constitute a larger unit of
  data called the challenge. The challenge gives the generator the
  parameters it needs to calculate the correct one-time password from
  the secret pass-phrase. The challenge MUST be in a standard syntax so
  that automated generators can recognize the challenge in context and
  extract these parameters. The syntax of the challenge is:

          otp-<algorithm identifier> <sequence integer> <seed>

  The three tokens MUST be separated by a white space (defined as any
  number of spaces and/or tabs) and the entire challenge string MUST be
  terminated with either a space or a new line. The string "otp-" MUST
  be in lower case.  The algorithm identifier is case sensitive (the
  existing identifiers are all lower case), and the seed is case
  insensitive and converted before use to lower case.  If additional
  algorithms are defined, appropriate identifiers (short, but not
  limited to three or four characters) must be defined. The currently
  defined algorithm identifiers are:

      md4        MD4 Message Digest
      md5        MD5 Message Digest
      sha1       NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1

  An example of an OTP challenge is:   otp-md5 487 dog2

  Form of Output

  The one-time password generated by the above procedure is 64 bits in
  length. Entering a 64 bit number is a difficult and error prone
  process. Some generators insert this password into the input stream
  and some others make it available for system "cut and paste." Still
  other arrangements require the one-time password to be entered
  manually. The OTP system is designed to facilitate this manual entry
  without impeding automatic methods. The one-time password therefore
  MAY be converted to, and all servers MUST be capable of accepting it
  as, a sequence of six short (1 to 4 letter) easily typed words that
  only use characters from ISO-646 IVCS. Each word is chosen from a
  dictionary of 2048 words; at 11 bits per word, all one-time passwords
  may be encoded.

  The two extra bits in this encoding are used to store a checksum.
  The 64 bits of key are broken down into pairs of bits, then these
  pairs are summed together. The two least significant bits of this sum
  are encoded in the last two bits of the six word sequence with the
  least significant bit of the sum as the last bit encoded. All OTP
  generators MUST calculate this checksum and all OTP servers MUST
  verify this checksum explicitly as part of the operation of decoding
  this representation of the one-time password.



Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  Generators that produce the six-word format MUST present the words in
  upper case with single spaces used as separators. All servers MUST
  accept six-word format without regard to case and white space used as
  a separator. The two lines below represent the same one-time
  password.  The first is valid as output from a generator and as input
  a server, the second is valid only as human input to a server.

    Interoperability requires that all OTP servers and generators use
    the same dictionary. The standard dictionary was originally
    specified in the "S/KEY One Time Password System" that is described
    in RFC 1760 [5].  This dictionary is included in this document as
    Appendix D.

    To facilitate the implementation of smaller generators, hexadecimal
    output is an acceptable alternative for the presentation of the
    one-time password. All implementations of the server software MUST
    accept case-insensitive hexadecimal as well as six-word format. The
    hexadecimal digits may be separated by white space so servers are
    REQUIRED to ignore all white space.  If the representation is
    partitioned by white space, leading zeros must be retained.
    Examples of hexadecimal format are:

          Representation                Value

          3503785b369cda8b              0x3503785b369cda8b
          e5cc a1b8 7c13 096b           0xe5cca1b87c13096b
          C7 48 90 F4 27 7B A1 CF       0xc74890f4277ba1cf
          47 9 A68 28 4C 9D 0 1BC       0x479a68284c9d01bc

  In addition to accepting six-word and hexadecimal encodings of the
  64 bit one-time password, servers SHOULD accept the alternate
  dictionary encoding described in Appendix B.  The six words in this
  encoding MUST not overlap the set of words in the standard
  dictionary.  To avoid ambiguity with the hexadecimal representation,
  words in the alternate dictionary MUST not be comprised solely of
  the letters A-F.  Decoding words thus encoded does not require any
  knowledge of the alternative dictionary used so the acceptance of
  any alternate dictionary implies the acceptance of all alternate
  dictionaries.  Words in the alternative dictionaries are case
  sensitive.  Generators and servers MUST preserve the case in the
  processing of these words.

  In summary, all conforming servers MUST accept six-word input that
  uses the Standard Dictionary (RFC 1760 and Appendix D), MUST accept
  hexadecimal encoding, and SHOULD accept six-word input that uses the



Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  Alternative Dictionary technique (Appendix B).  As there is a remote
  possibility that a hexadecimal encoding of a one-time password will
  look like a valid six-word standard dictionary encoding, all
  implementations MUST use the following scheme.  If a six-word
  encoded one-time password is valid, it is accepted.  Otherwise, if
  the one-time password can be interpreted as hexadecimal, and with
  that decoding it is valid, then it is accepted.

7.0 VERIFICATION OF ONE-TIME PASSWORDS

  An application on the server system that requires OTP authentication
  is expected to issue an OTP challenge as described above. Given the
  parameters from this challenge and the secret pass-phrase, the
  generator can compute (or lookup) the one-time password that is
  passed to the server to be verified.

  The server system has a database containing, for each user, the
  one-time password from the last successful authentication or the
  first OTP of a newly initialized sequence. To authenticate the user,
  the server decodes the one-time password received from the generator
  into a 64-bit key and then runs this key through the secure hash
  function once. If the result of this operation matches the stored
  previous OTP, the authentication is successful and the accepted
  one-time password is stored for future use.

8.0 PASS-PHRASE CHANGES

  Because the number of hash function applications executed by the
  generator decreases by one each time, at some point the user must
  reinitialize the system or be unable to authenticate.

  Although some installations may not permit users to initialize
  remotely, implementations MUST provide a means to do so that does
  not reveal the user's secret pass-phrase.  One way is to provide a
  means to reinitialize the  sequence through explicit specification
  of the first one-time password.

  When the sequence of one-time passwords is reinitialized,
  implementations MUST verify that the seed or the pass-phrase is
  changed.  Installations SHOULD discourage any operation that sends
  the secret pass-phrase over a network in clear-text as such practice
  defeats the concept of a one-time password.

  Implementations MAY use the following technique for
  [re]initialization:






Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


     o  The user picks a new seed and hash count (default values may
        be offered).  The user provides these, along with the
        corresponding generated one-time password, to the host system.

     o  The user MAY also provide the corresponding generated one
        time password for count-1 as an error check.

     o  The user SHOULD provide the generated one-time password for
        the old seed and old hash count to protect an idle terminal
        or workstation (this implies that when the count is 1, the
        user can login but cannot then change the seed or count).

  In the future a specific protocol may be defined for
  reinitialization that will permit smooth and possibly automated
  interoperation of all hosts and generators.

9.0 PROTECTION AGAINST RACE ATTACK

  All conforming server implementations MUST protect against the race
  condition described in this section.  A defense against this attack
  is outlined; implementations MAY use this approach or MAY select an
  alternative defense.

  It is possible for an attacker to listen to most of a one-time
  password, guess the remainder, and then race the legitimate user to
  complete the authentication.  Multiple guesses against the last word
  of the six-word format are likely to succeed.

  One possible defense is to prevent a user from starting multiple
  simultaneous authentication sessions. This means that once the
  legitimate user has initiated authentication, an attacker would be
  blocked until the first authentication process has completed.  In
  this approach, a timeout is necessary to thwart a denial of service
  attack.

10.0 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

  This entire document discusses an authentication system that
  improves security by limiting the danger of eavesdropping/replay
  attacks that have been used against simple password systems [4].

  The use of the OTP system only provides protections against passive
  eavesdropping/replay attacks.  It does not provide for the privacy
  of transmitted data, and it does not provide protection against
  active attacks such as session hijacking that are known to be
  present in the current Internet [9].  The use of IP Security
  (IPsec), see [10], [11], and [12] is recommended to protect against
  TCP session hijacking.



Haller                      Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 2289               A One-Time Password System          February 1998


  The success of the OTP system to protect host systems is dependent
  on the non-invertability of the secure hash functions used.  To our
  knowledge, none of the hash algorithms have been broken, but it is
  generally believed [6] that MD4 is not as strong as MD5.  If a
  server supports multiple hash algorithms, it is only as secure as
  the weakest algorithm.

11.0 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  The idea behind OTP authentication was first proposed by Leslie
  Lamport [1]. Bellcore's S/KEY system, from which OTP is derived, was
  proposed by Phil Karn, who also wrote most of the Bellcore reference
  implementation.

Appendix A  -  Interfaces to Secure Hash Algorithms

  Original interoperability tests provided valuable insights into the
  subtle problems which occur when converting protocol specifications
  into running code.  In particular, the manipulation of bit ordered
  data is dependent on the architecture of the hardware, specifically
  the way in which a computer stores multi-byte data.  The method is
  typically called big or little "endian."  A big endian machine stores
  data with the most significant byte first, while a little endian
  machine stores the least significant byte first.  Thus, on a big
  endian machine data is stored left to right, while little endian
  machines store data right to left.

  For example, the four byte value 0x11AABBCC is stored in a big endian
  machine as the following series of four bytes, "0x11", "0xAA",
  "0xBB", and "0xCC", while on a little endian machine the value would
  be stored as "0xCC", "0xBB", "0xAA", and "0x11".

  For historical reasons, and to promote interoperability with existing
  implementations, it was decided that ALL hashes incorporated into the
  OTP protocol MUST store the output of their hash function in LITTLE
  ENDIAN format BEFORE the bit folding to 64 bits occurs.  This is done
  in the implementations of MD4 and MD5 (see references [2] and [6]),
  while it must be explicitly done for the implementation of SHA1 (see
  reference [7]).

  Any future hash functions implemented into the OTP protocol SHOULD
  provide a similar reference fragment of code to allow independent
  implementations to operate successfully.

Appendix B   -   Alternative Dictionary Algorithm

  The purpose of alternative dictionary encoding of the OTP one-time
  password is to allow the use of language specific or friendly words.
  As case translation is not always well defined, the alternative
  dictionary encoding is case sensitive.  Servers SHOULD accept this
  encoding in addition to the standard 6-word and hexadecimal
  encodings.


  GENERATOR ENCODING USING AN ALTERNATE DICTIONARY

    The standard 6-word encoding uses the placement of a word in the
    dictionary to represent an 11-bit number. The 64-bit one-time
    password can then be represented by six words.

    An alternative dictionary of 2048 words may be created such that
    each word W and position of the word in the dictionary N obey the
    relationship:

            alg( W ) % 2048 == N
    where
            alg is the hash algorithm used (e.g. MD4, MD5, SHA1).

    In addition, no words in the standard dictionary may be chosen.

    The generator expands the 64-bit one-time password to 66 bits by
    computing parity as with the standard 6-word encoding.  The six 11-
    bit numbers are then converted to words using the dictionary that
    was created such that the above relationship holds.

  SERVER DECODING OF ALTERNATE DICTIONARY ONE-TIME PASSWORDS

    The server accepting alternative dictionary encoding converts each
    word to an 11-bit number using the above encoding. These numbers
    are then used in the same way as the decoded standard dictionary
    words to form the 66-bit one-time password.

    The server does not need to have access to the alternate dictionary
    that was used to create the one-time password it is authenticating.
    This is because the decoding from word to 11-bit number does not
    make any use of the dictionary.  As a result of the independence of
    the dictionary, a server accepting one alternate dictionary accept
    all alternate dictionaries.

Appendix C  -  OTP Verification Examples

  This appendix provides a series of inputs and correct outputs for all
  three of the defined OTP cryptographic hashes, specifically MD4, MD5,
  and SHA1.  This document is intended to be used by developers for
  interoperability checks when creating generators or servers.  Output
  is provided in both hexadecimal notation and the six word encoding
  documented in Appendix D.

  GENERAL CHECKS

  Note that the output given for these checks is not intended to be
  taken literally, but describes the type of action that should be
  taken.
