2. HMAC-based one-time password - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password

   HMAC-based one-time password ( HOTP) is a one-time password (OTP) algorithm based on HMAC. It is a cornerstone of the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH). HOTP was published as an informational IETF RFC 4226 in December 2005, documenting the algorithm along with a Java implementation. Since then, the algorithm has been adopted by many ...

3. Random password generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

   Random password generator. A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password. Random passwords can be generated manually, using simple sources of randomness such as dice or coins, or they can be generated using a computer.

4. Ciphertext - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext

   Ciphertext is also known as encrypted or encoded information because it contains a form of the original plaintext that is unreadable by a human or computer without the proper cipher to decrypt it. This process prevents the loss of sensitive information via hacking. Decryption, the inverse of encryption, is the process of turning ciphertext into ...

5. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(cryptography)

   Key vs password. A password is a memorized series of characters including letters, digits, and other special symbols that are used to verify identity. It is often produced by a human user or a password management software to protect personal and sensitive information or generate cryptographic keys.

6. OTPW - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTPW

   OTPW. OTPW is a one-time password system developed for authentication in Unix-like operating systems by Markus Kuhn. [1] A user's real password is not directly transmitted across the network. Rather, a series of one-time passwords is created from a short set of characters (constant secret) and a set of one-time tokens.

7. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

   Binary-to-text encoding. A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.
