Java Authentication and Authorization Service, or JAAS, pronounced "Jazz", [1] is the Java implementation of the standard Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) information security framework. [2] JAAS was introduced as an extension library to the Java Platform, Standard Edition 1.3 and was integrated in version 1.4.
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.
To establish TOTP authentication, the authenticatee and authenticator must pre-establish both the HOTP parameters and the following TOTP parameters: T 0, the Unix time from which to start counting time steps (default is 0), T X, an interval which will be used to calculate the value of the counter C T (default is 30 seconds).
The server responds with the 401 "Unauthorized" response code, providing the authentication realm and a randomly generated, single-use value called a nonce. At this point, the browser will present the authentication realm (typically a description of the computer or system being accessed) to the user and prompt for a username and password.
Self-testing code is software that incorporates built-in tests (see test-first development). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In Java , to execute a unit test from the command line , a class can have methods like the following.
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 ...
In the context of an HTTP transaction, basic access authentication is a method for an HTTP user agent (e.g. a web browser) to provide a user name and password when making a request. In basic HTTP authentication, a request contains a header field in the form of Authorization: Basic <credentials> , where <credentials> is the Base64 encoding of ID ...
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.
