password
(foldoc) | password
An arbitrary string of characters chosen by a user
or system administrator and used to authenticate the user
when he attempts to log on, in order to prevent unauthorised
access to his account.
A favourite activity among unimaginative computer nerds and
crackers is writing programs which attempt to discover
passwords by using lists of commonly chosen passwords such as
people's names (spelled forward or backward). It is
recommended that to defeat such methods passwords use a
mixture of upper and lower case letters or digits and avoid
proper names and real words. If you have trouble remembering
random strings of characters, make up an acronym like
"ihGr8trmP" ("I have great trouble remembering my password").

(foldoc) | One-Time Password
S/Key
(OTP) A security system that requires a new
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.
See RFC 1760 - "The S/KEY One-Time Password System" and {RFC
1938} - "A One-Time Password System".

password authentication protocol
(foldoc) | Password Authentication Protocol
(PAP) An authentication scheme used by PPP
servers to validate the identity of the originator of the
connection.
PAP applies a two-way handshaking procedure. After the link
is established the originator sends an id-password pair to the
server. If authentication succeeds the server sends back an
acknowledgement; otherwise it either terminates the connection
or gives the originator another chance.
PAP is not a strong authentication method. Passwords are sent
over the circuit "in the clear" and there is no protection
against playback or repeated "trial and error" attacks. The
originator is in total control of the frequency and timing of
the attempts. Therefore, any server that can use a stronger
authentication method, such as CHAP, will offer to negotiate
that method prior to PAP. The use of PAP is appropriate,
however, if a plaintext password must be available to
simulate a login at a remote host.
PAP is defined in RFC 1334.
