  2. S/KEY - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/KEY

    S/KEY is a one-time password system developed for authentication to Unix-like operating systems, especially from dumb terminals or untrusted public computers on which one does not want to type a long-term password. A user's real password is combined in an offline device with a short set of characters and a decrementing counter to form a single ...

  3. Secure Remote Password protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password...

    The Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) is an augmented password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol, specifically designed to work around existing patents. [1]Like all PAKE protocols, an eavesdropper or man in the middle cannot obtain enough information to be able to brute-force guess a password or apply a dictionary attack without further interactions with the parties for each guess.

  4. ssh-keygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-keygen

    ssh-keygen is a standard component of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol suite found on Unix, Unix-like and Microsoft Windows computer systems used to establish secure shell sessions between remote computers over insecure networks, through the use of various cryptographic techniques.

  5. ssh-agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-agent

    Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography.SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa).

  6. OpenSSH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSH

    The OpenSSH server can authenticate users using the standard methods supported by the SSH protocol: with a password; public-key authentication, using per-user keys; host-based authentication, which is a secure version of rlogin 's host trust relationships using public keys; keyboard-interactive, a generic challenge–response mechanism, which ...

  7. Public key fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_fingerprint

    In systems such as SSH, users can exchange and check fingerprints manually to perform key authentication. Once a user has accepted another user's fingerprint, that fingerprint (or the key it refers to) will be stored locally along with a record of the other user's name or address, so that future communications with that user can be ...

  8. Mutual authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication

    Alice sends a message encrypted with Bob's public key to Bob to show that Alice is a valid user. Bob verifies the message: Bob checks the format and timestamp. If either is incorrect or invalid, the session is aborted. The message is then decrypted with Bob's secret key, giving Alice's ID. Bob checks if the message matches a valid user.

  9. Challenge–response authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge–response...

    The simplest example of a challenge-response protocol is password authentication, where the challenge is asking for the password and the valid response is the correct password. An adversary who can eavesdrop on a password authentication can authenticate themselves by reusing the intercepted password. One solution is to issue multiple passwords ...
