One-Time Password password every time a user authenticates themselves, thus protecting against an intruder replaying an intercepted password. OTP generates passwords using either the {MD4} or {MD5} {hashing} {algorithms}. The equivalent term "S/Key", developed by Bellcore, is a trademark of {Telcordia Technologies}, so the name OTP is used increasingly.
