About the Indeed AM HOTP Provider component

The autonomous one-time password generator eToken PASS can be used for authentication in any applications and services that support RADIUS protocol – VPN, Microsoft ISA, Microsoft IIS, Outlook Web Access etc. eToken PASS has an algorithm of one-time password generation (One-Time Password – OTP) implemented. This algorithm is based on HMAC and SHA-1 hash function. The OTP value calculation uses two input parameters: private key (initial value for the generator) and current value of the counter (the number of generation cycles required).

Initial value is stored both in the device itself, and on the server in Indeed system. Device counter is incremented with every OTP generation, and server counter increments with every successful authentication with OTP.
