Re: [aerogear-dev] [OTP] Mobile-OTP / OTP for .NET
Sorry Daniel, but I can't see how someone can intercept your phone's camera while
you're scanning the QRCode, doesn't exist any communication between the client and
the server. That's the reason why QRCode exists.
Here you can check more about how it works
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.
