Description-en: Generator for One Time Pads or Passwords
otp creates key and password lists for verification and
security purposes in a variety of formats. Keys can be of
any length, consist of digits or letters (capital or lower
case), and alphabetic passwords can either be entirely
random (most secure) or obey the digraph statistics of
English text (easier to remember when transcribing, but less
secure).
.
For computer applications, for example one-time login
passwords, otp can create a file containing the MD5
signature of each of the generated keys. This permits the
computer to verify keys without the need to store the keys in
plaintext.
