NAME
       otp - One-Time Passwords

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require otp  ?1.0.0?

       ::otp::otp-md4 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-md5 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

DESCRIPTION
       This  package  is  an  implementation  in Tcl of the One-Time Password system as described in RFC 2289 (1). This system uses message-digest
       algorithms to sequentially hash a passphrase to create single-use passwords. The resulting data is then provided  to  the  user	as  either
       hexadecimal  digits  or encoded using a dictionary of 2048 words. This system is used by OpenBSD for secure login and can be used as a SASL
       mechanism for authenticating users.

       In this implementation we provide support for four algorithms that are included in the tcllib distribution: MD5 (2),  MD4  (3),	RIPE-MD160
       (4) and SHA-1 (5).

COMMANDS
       ::otp::otp-md4 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-md5 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-sha1 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-rmd160 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

EXAMPLES
       % otp::otp-md5 -count 99 -seed host67821 "My Secret Pass Phrase"
       (binary gibberish)
