The One-Time-Password SASL Mechanism
RFC 2444, “The One-Time-Password SASL Mechanism”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 1998 by C. Newman. It updates RFC 2222. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
OTP provides a useful authentication mechanism for situations where there is limited client or server trust. Currently, OTP is added to protocols in an ad-hoc fashion with heuristic parsing. This specification defines an OTP SASL mechanism so it can be easily and formally integrated into many application protocols. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
