Abstract

This document describes a secure key exchange scheme that extends the Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) [RFC6238] de facto enrollment method to prevent compromise of the non-expiring TOTP key by photographic capture of the QR code or by intentional or unintentional persistence of the key string in email, SMS, or other systems outside of the TOTP authenticator system itself.
