NAME

oath_totp_validate2 - API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <oath.h>

int oath_totp_validate2(const char * secret, size_t secret_length, time_t now, unsigned time_step_size, time_t start_offset, size_t window, int * otp_pos, const char * otp);

ARGUMENTS

const char * secret: the shared secret string
size_t secret_length: length of secret
time_t now: Unix time value to validate TOTP for
unsigned time_step_size: time step system parameter (typically 30)
time_t start_offset: Unix time of when to start counting time steps (typically 0)
size_t window: how many OTPs after/before start OTP to test
int * otp_pos: output search position in search window (may be NULL).
const char * otp: the OTP to validate.

DESCRIPTION

Validate an OTP according to OATH TOTP algorithm per RFC 6238.

Currently only OTP lengths of 6, 7 or 8 digits are supported. This restrictions may be lifted in future versions, although some limitations are inherent in the protocol.

RETURNS

Returns absolute value of position in OTP window (zero is first position), or OATH_INVALID_OTP if no OTP was found in OTP window, or an error code.

SINCE

1.10.0
