| Abstract
|
This memo specifies an Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) based
one-time password generation mechanism for Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) Digest access authentication. The HTTP
Authentication Framework includes two authentication schemes: Basic
and Digest. Both schemes employ a shared secret based mechanism for
access authentication. The AKA mechanism performs user
authentication and session key distribution in Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks. AKA is a challenge-
response based mechanism that uses symmetric cryptography.
