S/key \- A procedure to use one time passwords for accessing computer systems.
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I S/key
|
||
|
|
is a procedure for using one time password to authenticate access to
|
||
|
|
computer systems. It uses 64 bits of information transformed by the
|
||
|
|
MD4 algorithm. The user supplies the 64 bits in the form of 6 English
|
||
|
|
words that are generated by a secure computer.
|
||
|
|

The programs that are part of the S/Key system are keyinit, key, and
|
||
|
|
keyinfo. Keyinit is used to get your ID set up, key is
|
||
|
|
used to get the one time password each time,
|
||
|
|
keyinfo is used to extract information from the S/Key database.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
When you run "keyinit" you inform the system of your
|
||
|
|
secret password. Running "key" then generates the
|
||
|
|
one-time passwords, and also requires your secret
|
||
|
|
password. If however, you misspell your password
|
||
|
|
while running "key", you will get a list of passwords
|
||
|
|
that will not work, and no indication about the problem.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Password sequence numbers count backward from 99. If you
|
||
|
|
don't know this, the syntax for "key" will be confusing.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
You can enter the passwords using small letters, even
|
||
|
|
though the "key" program gives them in caps.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Macintosh and a general purpose PC use
|
||
|
|
are available.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Under FreeBSD, you can control, with /etc/skey.access, from which
|
||
|
|
hosts and/or networks the use of S/Key passwords is obligated.
