ROTP - The Ruby One Time Password Library

Dependencies

• OpenSSL
• Base32

Installation

gem install rotp

Use

Time based OTP's

totp = ROTP::TOTP.new("base32secret1234")
totp.now # => 492039
totp.at(Time.now.to_i + 30) # => 102922

Counter based OTP's

hotp = ROTP::HOTP.new("base32secretkey1234")
hotp.at(0) # => 368431
hotp.at(1) # => 818794
hotp.at(1401) # => 320657

Generating a Base32 Secret key

ROTP.random_base32 # returns a 16 character base32 secret. Compatible with Google Authenticator

Google Authenticator Interop

The library works with the Google Authenticator iPhone and Android app, and also includes the ability to generate provisioning URI's for use with the QR Code scanner built into the app.

hotp.provisioning_uri # => 'otpauth://totp/alice@google.com?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP'

This can then be rendered as a QR Code which can then be scanned and added to the users list of OTP credentials.
