Network Working Group N. Haller Request for Comments: 1938 Bellcore Category: Standards Track C. Metz Kaman Sciences Corporation May 1996 A One-Time Password System Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. 1.0 ABSTRACT This document describes a one-time password authentication system (OTP). The system provides authentication for system access (login) and other applications requiring authentication that is secure against passive attacks based on replaying captured reusable passwords. OTP evolved from the S/KEY (S/KEY is a trademark of Bellcore) One-Time Password System that was released by Bellcore and is described in references [3] and [5]. 2.0 OVERVIEW One form of attack on networked computing systems is eavesdropping on network connections to obtain authentication information such as the login IDs and passwords of legitimate users. Once this information is captured, it can be used at a later time to gain access to the system. One-time password systems are designed to counter this type of attack, called a "replay attack" [4]. The authentication system described in this document uses a secret pass-phrase to generate a sequence of one-time (single use) passwords. With this system, the user's secret pass-phrase never needs to cross the network at any time such as during authentication or during pass-phrase changes. Thus, it is not vulnerable to replay attacks. Added security is provided by the property that no secret information need be stored on any system, including the server being protected. The OTP system protects against external passive attacks against the authentication subsystem. It does not prevent a network eavesdropper from gaining access to private information and does not provide Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 protection against either "social engineering" or active attacks [9]. 3.0 INTRODUCTION There are two entities in the operation of the OTP one-time password system. The generator must produce the appropriate one-time password from the user's secret pass-phrase and from information provided in the challenge from the server. The server must send a challenge that includes the appropriate generation parameters to the generator, must verify the one-time password received, must store the last valid one-time password it received, and must store the corresponding one- time password sequence number. The server must also facilitate the changing of the user's secret pass-phrase in a secure manner. The OTP system generator passes the user's secret pass-phrase, along with a seed received from the server as part of the challenge, through multiple iterations of a secure hash function to produce a one-time password. After each successful authentication, the number of secure hash function iterations is reduced by one. Thus, a unique sequence of passwords is generated. The server verifies the one-time password received from the generator by computing the secure hash function once and comparing the result with the previously accepted one-time password. This technique was first suggested by Leslie Lamport [1]. 4.0 REQUIREMENTS TERMINOLOGY In this document, the words that are used to define the significance of each particular requirement are usually capitalized. These words are: - MUST This word or the adjective "REQUIRED" means that the item is an absolute requirement of the specification. - SHOULD This word or the adjective "RECOMMENDED" means that there might exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before taking a different course. - MAY This word or the adjective "OPTIONAL" means that this item is truly optional. One vendor might choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because it Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item. 5.0 SECURE HASH FUNCTION The security of the OTP system is based on the non-invertability of a secure hash function. Such a function must be tractable to compute in the forward direction, but computationally infeasible to invert. The interfaces are currently defined for three such hash algorithms, MD4 [2] and MD5 [6] by Ronald Rivest, and SHA [7] by NIST. All conforming implementations of both server and generators MUST support MD5. They SHOULD support SHA and MAY also support MD4. Clearly, the generator and server must use the same algorithm in order to interoperate. Other hash algorithms may be specified for use with this system by publishing the appropriate interfaces. The secure hash algorithms listed above have the property that they accept an input that is arbitrarily long and produce a fixed size output. The OTP system folds this output to 64 bits using the algorithms in the Appendix A. 64 bits is also the length of the one- time passwords. This is believed to be long enough to be secure and short enough to be entered manually (see below, Form of Output) when necessary. 6.0 GENERATION OF ONE-TIME PASSWORDS This section describes the generation of the one-time passwords. This process consists of an initial step in which all inputs are combined, a computation step where the secure hash function is applied a specified number of times, and an output function where the 64 bit one-time password is converted to a human readable form. Initial Step In principle, the user's secret pass-phrase may be of any length. To reduce the risk from techniques such as exhaustive search or dictionary attacks, character string pass-phrases MUST contain at least 10 characters (see Form of Inputs below). All implementations MUST support a pass-phrases of at least 63 characters. The secret pass-phrase is frequently, but is not required to be, textual information provided by a user. In this step, the pass phrase is concatenated with a seed that is transmitted from the server in clear text. This non-secret seed allows clients to use the same secret pass-phrase on multiple machines (using different seeds) and to safely recycle their secret pass-phrases by changing the seed. Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 The result of the concatenation is passed through the secure hash function and then is reduced to 64 bits using one of the function dependent algorithms shown in Appendix A. Computation Step A sequence of one-time passwords is produced by applying the secure hash function multiple times to the output of the initial step (called S). That is, the first one-time password to be used is produced by passing S through the secure hash function a number of times (N) specified by the user. The next one-time password to be used is generated by passing S though the secure hash function N-1 times. An eavesdropper who has monitored the transmission of a one- time password would not be able to generate the next required password because doing so would mean inverting the hash function. Form of Inputs The secret pass-phrase is seen only by the OTP generator. To allow interchangeability of generators, all generators MUST support a secret pass-phrase of 10 to 63 characters. Implementations MAY support a longer pass-phrase, but such implementations risk the loss of interchangeability with implementations supporting only the minimum. The seed MUST consist of purely alphanumeric characters and MUST be of one to 16 characters in length. The seed is a string of characters that MUST not contain any blanks and SHOULD consist of strictly alphanumeric characters from the ISO-646 Invariant Code Set. The seed MUST be case insensitive and MUST be internally converted to lower case before it is processed. The sequence number and seed together constitute a larger unit of data called the challenge. The challenge gives the generator the parameters it needs to calculate the correct one-time password from the secret pass-phrase. The challenge MUST be in a standard syntax so that automated generators can recognize the challenge in context and extract these parameters. The syntax of the challenge is: otp-<algorithm identifier> <sequence integer> <seed> The three tokens MUST be separated by a white space (defined as any number of spaces and/or tabs) and the entire challenge string MUST be terminated with either a space or a new line. The string "otp-" MUST be in lower case. The algorithm identifier is case sensitive (the existing identifiers are all lower case), and the seed is case insensitive and converted before use to lower case. Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 If additional algorithms are defined, appropriate identifiers (short, but not limited to three or four characters) must be defined. The currently defined algorithm identifiers are: md4 MD4 Message Digest md5 MD5 Message Digest sha1 NIST Secure Hash Algorithm Revision 1 An example of an OTP challenge is: otp-md5 487 dog2 Form of Output The one-time password generated by the above procedure is 64 bits in length. Entering a 64 bit number is a difficult and error prone process. Some generators insert this password into the input stream and some others make it available for system "cut and paste." Still other arrangements require the one-time password to be entered manually. The OTP system is designed to facilitate this manual entry without impeding automatic methods. The one-time password therefore MAY be converted to, and all servers MUST be capable of accepting it as, a sequence of six short (1 to 4 letter) easily typed words that only use characters from ISO-646 IVCS. Each word is chosen from a dictionary of 2048 words; at 11 bits per word, all one-time passwords may be encoded. The two extra bits in this encoding are used to store a checksum. The 64 bits of key are broken down into pairs of bits, then these pairs are summed together. The two least significant bits of this sum are encoded in the last two bits of the six word sequence with the least significant bit of the sum as the last bit encoded. All OTP generators MUST calculate this checksum and all OTP servers MUST verify this checksum explicitly as part of the operation of decoding this representation of the one-time password. Generators that produce the six-word format MUST present the words in upper case with single spaces used as separators. All servers MUST accept six-word format without regard to case and white space used as a separator. The two lines below represent the same one- time password. The first is valid as output from a generator and as input a server, the second is valid only as human input to a server. OUST COAT FOAL MUG BEAK TOTE oust coat foal mug beak tote Interoperability requires that all OTP servers and generators use the same dictionary. The standard dictionary was originally specified in the "S/KEY One Time Password System" that is Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 described in RFC 1760 [5]. This dictionary is included in this document as Appendix C. To facilitate the implementation of smaller generators, hexadecimal output is an acceptable alternative for the presentation of the one-time password. All implementations of the server software MUST accept case-insensitive hexadecimal as well as six-word format. The hexadecimal digits may be separated by white space so servers are REQUIRED to ignore all white space. If the representation is partitioned by white space, leading zeros must be retained. Examples of hexadecimal format are: Representation Value 3503785b369cda8b 0x3503785b369cda8b e5cc a1b8 7c13 096b 0xe5cca1b87c13096b C7 48 90 F4 27 7B A1 CF 0xc74890f4277ba1cf 47 9 A68 28 4C 9D 0 1BC 0x479a68284c9d01bc In addition to accepting six-word and hexadecimal encodings of the 64 bit one-time password, servers SHOULD accept the alternate dictionary encoding described in Appendix B. The six words in this encoding MUST not overlap the set of words in the standard dictionary. To avoid ambiguity with the hexadecimal representation, words in the alternate dictionary MUST not be comprised solely of the letters A-F. Decoding words thus encoded does not require any knowledge of the alternative dictionary used so the acceptance of any alternate dictionary implies the acceptance of all alternate dictionaries. Words in the alternative dictionaries are case sensitive. Generators and servers MUST preserve the case in the processing of these words. In summary, all conforming servers MUST accept six-word input that uses the Standard Dictionary (RFC 1760 and Appendix C), MUST accept hexadecimal encoding, and SHOULD accept six-word input that uses the Alternative Dictionary technique (Appendix B). As there is a remote possibility that a hexadecimal encoding of a one-time password will look like a valid six-word standard dictionary encoding, all implementations MUST use the following scheme. If a six-word encoded one-time password is valid, it is accepted. Otherwise, if the one-time password can be interpreted as hexadecimal, and with that decoding it is valid, then it is accepted. Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 7.0 VERIFICATION OF ONE-TIME PASSWORDS An application on the server system that requires OTP authentication is expected to issue an OTP challenge as described above. Given the parameters from this challenge and the secret pass-phrase, the generator can compute (or lookup) the one-time password that is passed to the server to be verified. The server system has a database containing, for each user, the one- time password from the last successful authentication or the first OTP of a newly initialized sequence. To authenticate the user, the server decodes the one-time password received from the generator into a 64-bit key and then runs this key through the secure hash function once. If the result of this operation matches the stored previous OTP, the authentication is successful and the accepted one-time password is stored for future use. 8.0 PASS-PHRASE CHANGES Because the number of hash function applications executed by the generator decreases by one each time, at some point the user must reinitialize the system or be unable to authenticate. Although some installations may not permit users to initialize remotely, implementations MUST provide a means to do so that does not reveal the user's secret pass-phrase. One way is to provide a means to reinitialize the sequence through explicit specification of the first one-time password. When the sequence of one-time passwords is reinitialized, implementations MUST verify that the seed or the pass-phrase is changed. Installations SHOULD discourage any operation that sends the secret pass-phrase over a network in clear-text as such practice defeats the concept of a one-time password. Implementations MAY use the following technique for [re]initialization: o The user picks a new seed and hash count (default values may be offered). The user provides these, along with the corresponding generated one-time password, to the host system. o The user MAY also provide the corresponding generated one time password for count-1 as an error check. o The user SHOULD provide the generated one-time password for the old seed and old hash count to protect an idle terminal or workstation (this implies that when the count is 1, the Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 user can login but cannot then change the seed or count). In the future a specific protocol may be defined for reinitialization that will permit smooth and possibly automated interoperation of all hosts and generators. 9.0 PROTECTION AGAINST RACE ATTACK All conforming server implementations MUST protect against the race condition described in this section. A defense against this attack is outlined; implementations MAY use this approach or MAY select an alternative defense. It is possible for an attacker to listen to most of a one-time password, guess the remainder, and then race the legitimate user to complete the authentication. Multiple guesses against the last word of the six-word format are likely to succeed. One possible defense is to prevent a user from starting multiple simultaneous authentication sessions. This means that once the legitimate user has initiated authentication, an attacker would be blocked until the first authentication process has completed. In this approach, a timeout is necessary to thwart a denial of service attack. 10.0 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS This entire document discusses an authentication system that improves security by limiting the danger of eavesdropping/replay attacks that have been used against simple password systems [4]. The use of the OTP system only provides protections against passive eavesdropping/replay attacks. It does not provide for the privacy of transmitted data, and it does not provide protection against active attacks. Active attacks against TCP connections are known to be present in the current Internet [9]. The success of the OTP system to protect host systems is dependent on the non-invertability of the secure hash functions used. To our knowledge, none of the hash algorithms have been broken, but it is generally believed [6] that MD4 is not as strong as MD5. If a server supports multiple hash algorithms, it is only as secure as the weakest algorithm.

As case translation is not always well defined, the alternative dictionary encoding is case insensitive. Servers SHOULD accept this encoding in addition to the standard 6-word and hexadecimal encodings. Haller & Metz Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 1938 A One-Time Password System May 1996 GENERATOR ENCODING USING AN ALTERNATE DICTIONARY The standard 6-word encoding uses the placement of a word in the dictionary to represent an 11-bit number. The 64-bit one-time password can then be represented by six words. An alternative dictionary of 2048 words may be created such that each word W and position of the word in the dictionary N obey the relationship: alg( W ) % 2048 == N where alg is the hash algorithm used (e.g. MD4, MD5, SHA1). In addition, no words in the standard dictionary may be chosen. The generator expands the 64-bit one-time password to 66 bits by computing parity as with the standard 6-word encoding. The six 11- bit numbers are then converted to words using the dictionary that was created such that the above relationship holds. SERVER DECODING OF ALTERNATE DICTIONARY ONE-TIME PASSWORDS The server accepting alternative dictionary encoding converts each word to an 11-bit number using the above encoding. These numbers are then used in the same way as the decoded standard dictionary words to form the 66-bit one-time password. The server does not need to have access to the alternate dictionary that was used to create the one-time password it is authenticating. This is because the decoding from word to 11-bit number does not make any use of the dictionary. As a result of the independence of the dictionary, a server accepting one alternate dictionary accept all alternate dictionaries.
