> i'll be honest, i don't know anyone who's ever used a one-time-pad ooh...terminology clarification:
OTP = one-time password OTP = one-time pad The former is a common tool used for safely logging in over an insecure channel (such as using S/Key when logging into my OpenBSD box over telnet). They're usually 5 quads of letters such as "OVEN DOVE MATE SPIN FLAT" and some generation methods kindly use real words to make them easier to type (still leaving about 387 quadrillion combos for an attacker to guess based on 4-letter words from my /usr/share/dict/words). With a little preparation, I can travel with a notecard in my wallet containing my next 10 OTPs in case I need something non-confidential on my home box and only have access to telnet rather than SSH. The latter is, as Derek notes, unbreakable without the key (assuming quality random data). However key management becomes unweildy. Which does the OP mean by "OTP"? -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
