.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm S/key
|
||
|
|
is a procedure for using one time passwords 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.
|
||
|
|
Example use of the S/key program
|
||
|

|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Password sequence numbers count backward from 99. If you
|
||
|
|
don't know this, the syntax for "key" will be confusing.
|
||
|
|
You can enter the passwords using small letters, even
|
||
|
|
though the "key" program gives them in caps.
