generate_hotp()

uint32_t Botan::HOTP::generate_hotp

(

uint64_t

counter

)

Generate the HOTP for a particular counter value

Warning

if the counter value is repeated the OTP ceases to be one-time

verify_hotp()

std::pair< bool, uint64_t > Botan::HOTP::verify_hotp	(	uint32_t	otp,
		uint64_t	starting_counter,
		size_t	resync_range = 0 )

Check an OTP value using a starting counter and a resync range

Parameters

otp	the client provided OTP
starting_counter	the server's guess as to the current counter state
resync_range	if 0 then only HOTP(starting_counter) is accepted If larger than 0, up to resync_range values after HOTP are also checked.

Returns

(valid,next_counter). If the OTP does not validate, always returns (false,starting_counter). Otherwise returns (true,next_counter) where next_counter is at most starting_counter + resync_range + 1
