New module available: One-Time-Passwords
Barcelona, August 16th, 2006
The purpose of a one-time password (OTP) is to make it more difficult to gain unauthorized access to restricted resources, like a computer account. Traditionally static passwords can more easily be accessed by an unauthorized intruder given enough attempts and time. By constantly altering the password, as is done with a one-time password, this risk can be greatly reduced. (http://en.wikipedia.org/) The "intranet-otp" package is used in ]project-open[ as an extension of the normal password-based authentication mechanism. OTPs allow in combination with (optional) SSL encryption for (reasonably) secure access to critical corporate resources even in untrusted environments and/or over untrusted channels.
