OTP stands for One Time Pâssword.
- OTP or one-time pâsswords are generated each time the authentication process is done and the user must be able to key in the right answer.
- The concept of paired pâsswords is implemented where the user supplies one part and the system generates and challenges the user about the knowledge of the other part.
- OTP is different every time it is generated and varies from nstance to nstance, user to user and session to session.
Implementation of OTP
- OTP is deployed commercially with SecureID using hardware calculators or with seed value being the current time.
- PIN or Personal Identification Number is made use of as the first level of access check after which OTP is generated in case of net banking.
- This type of two-factor authentication reduces the chances of breaches than authentication processes which make use of single factor.
- OTP uses a cØde book where the already used OTPs are ruled out or crossed out for further use. This cØde book should remain protected.
