One Time Password
Strong two-factor authentication making your system less vulnerable to unauthorized access

A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one authentication attempt.
OTPs are increasingly used in two-factor authentication systems to improve system security as organizations recognize that the traditional username and static password combination is no longer sufficient protection against unauthorized access. Static passwords are susceptible to cracking and a network that relies on this one-factor authentication method is very vulnerable to replay attacks.

OTP systems avoid most of the short-comings of static passwords - replaying a one-time password won't work because, once used, it is no longer valid.
OTP solutions generally use one of two ways to get a one-time password to the user when they are trying to authenticate: the OTP can be sent to the user eg. by SMS or email, or it can be self-generated eg. using a physical or soft token. Two-factor authentication adds complexity for users, which can result in more calls to the helpdesk or lost productivity if people find themselves unable to log in. Therefore, an OTP solution needs to be easy to use and easy to manage in terms of setting up new users and day-to-day administration.

The AppGate Security Server from the Cryptzone Group has always supported a wide range of authentication methods and two-factor authentication. Now a new Cryptzone OTP module is available for the AppGate system that provides a fully integrated OTP solution. With the Cryptzone OTP module, OTPs are generated on the user's own mobile phone. Each time the user wants to log in, they simply press a button on their phone to generate the next OTP in the sequence and enter it into the AppGate login dialogue.
