One-Time Password Authentication with Infinite Hash Chains

  • Alexander G. Chefranov

Abstract

One-time password scheme based on infinite forward stepping hash chains and not requiring re-initialization after a certain number of authentications is proposed. It resists known for such type schemes attacks, channel failures, and server side database compromise.
