50 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">OTPWCalc - Client application for calculating responses to OTP challenges.</div>
51 <div style="margin-top: 1.5em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Synopsis</div>
52 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">OTPWCalc [-h] [-v] [-V]</div>
53 <div style="margin-top: 1.25em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Description</div>
54 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Playing the role of a hardware
55 token in a client server authentication system as described
56 in RFC 2289, OTPWCalc calculates responses to incoming
57 authentication challenges as typed in by the user.</div>
58 <div style="margin-top: 1.25em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Options</div>
59 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">
60 -h Display a brief help message and exit.<br />
61 -v Print verbose text to the calling terminal.<br />
62 -V Print the version number and exit.
63 </div>
64 <div style="margin-top: 1.25em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Terms</div>
65 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Username</div>
66 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
67 The name that the server knows. For example, 'albertc'.
68 </div>
69 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Secret</div>
70 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
71 A password, usually selected by the user, that is
72 needed to gain access to the server. For example,
73 'Mysec2-pw'.
74 </div>
75 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Challenge</div>
76 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
77 Information printed by the server when it tries to
78 authenticate a user. This information is needed by
79 OTPWCalc to generate a proper response. For example,
80 'otp-md5 820 dinw23612'.
81 </div>
82 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Response</div>
83 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
84 Information generated from a challenge that is used
85 by the server to authenticate the user. For example,
86 'BIEM ROSE JINX HARD BALL SKY NEW'.
87 </div>
88 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Seed</div>
89 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
90 Information used in conjunction with the secret and
91 sequence number to compute the response. It allows
92 the same secret to be used for multiple sequences
93 by changing the seed, or for authentication to
94 multiple servers by using different seeds.
95 </div>
96 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Sequence #</div>
97 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
98 A counter used to track key iterations. Each time
99 a successful response is received by the server the
100 sequence number is decremented. For example, 71.
101 </div>
102 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">Hash ID</div>
103 <div style="margin-left: 4em; font-size: 0.75em;">
104 Text that identifies the cryptographical algorithm
105 used. The valid hash identifiers are 'otpmd4'
106 corresponding to MD4, and 'otp-md5' corresponding
107 to MD5.
108 </div>
109 <div style="margin-top: 1.25em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Files</div>
110 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">
111 The application may store a cookie in a file used to
112 restore the most recent settings. The location of this
113 file (or arbitrary data structure) varies according to
114 the operating system.

119 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">
120 All of the authentication strategies covered in the
121 standards implemented by this application are vulnerable
122 to man in the middle (MITM) attacks. The strategies can
123 be combined with public key logic to defeat such attacks.
124 </div>
125 <div style="margin-top: 1.25em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 0.75em;">Standards</div>
126 <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.75em;">
127 The IETF standards RFC 1760 (The S/KEY One-Time Password
128 System) and RFC 2289 (A One-Time Password System) are
129 implemented.

133 None. This is a self contained, stand alone application with
134 no alias commands. It is unique in that it leverages open
135 technologies like Javascript to run unmodified on a variety
136 of operating systems.
