Re: [aerogear-dev] [OTP] Mobile-OTP / OTP for .NET
I'm just trying to understand, the shared secret **can never** be sent across the
network, in our case that's the reason why you must scan the QRCode to generate
tokens, exactly to do not transmit it across the network.
So XSS attacks can decode an image and grab my secret? I'm interested in reproduce
this kind of attack, do you have the sources?
I didn't say nothing about contributions, I'm just curious about how you could
hack mobile's phone camera. I'd love to learn.

You have to call the server and than generate it. With XSS-Attacks there are a lot of ways
to read the qrcode.
This means the secret is exposed and you can generate a valid token. ;)
If you don't want the contribution I'm going to fork and have my own version of
aerogear-otp-java. No problem. ;)

while you're scanning the QRCode, doesn't exist any communication between the
client and the server. That's the reason why QRCode exists.

http://aerogear.org/docs/specs/aerogear-security-otp/. IMO the idea of input a PIN, sounds
more like a HOTP, because it relies in some event to happen to have a new token. Add a
large delay window like 60s will expose you to the man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing to
reuse your token.
