It uses 64 bits of information transformed by the +MD4 algorithm. The user supplies the 64 bits in the form of 6 English +words that are generated by a secure computer. +Example use of the S/key program +.I key +.sp + Usage example: +.sp 0 + >key 99 th91334 +.sp 0 + Enter password: <your secret password is intered here> +.sp 0 + OMEN US HORN OMIT BACK AHOY +.sp 0 + > +.sp +The programs that are part of the S/Key system are keyinit, key, and +keyinfo. Keyinit is used to get your ID set up, key is +used to get the one time password each time, +keyinfo is used to extract information from the S/Key database. +.sp +When you run "keyinit" you inform the system of your +secret password. Running "key" then generates the +one-time passwords, and also requires your secret +password. If however, you misspell your password +while running "key", you will get a list of passwords +that will not work, and no indication about the problem. +.sp +Password sequence numbers count backward from 99. If you +don't know this, the syntax for "key" will be confusing. +.sp +You can enter the passwords using small letters, even +though the "key" program gives them in caps. +.sp +Macintosh and a general purpose PC use +are available. +.sp +Under FreeBSD, you can control, with /etc/skey.access, from which +hosts and/or networks the use of S/Key passwords is obligated. +.LP +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR keyinit(1), +.BR key(1), +.BR keyinfo(1) +.BR skey.access(5) +.SH AUTHOR +Phil Karn, Neil M.
