S/KEY is a one-time password (OTP) system that was designed for authentication purposes in computer networks. It was developed as a method to enhance security by requiring users to enter a password that is valid for a single log-in session or transaction. The S/KEY system uses a hash function and a seeded algorithm to generate a series of changing passwords.
