Abstract

Structures and methods are disclosed for selectively capturing ('peeling') and replicating ('cloning') OTP tokens from one device to another while maintaining OTP state. Embodiments described herein provide for sending, from a first device to a second device, state information including for example, a key, a current OTP sequence value and a time to expiry value corresponding to selected tokens to be cloned. The second device thereafter uses the state information to generate OTP sequences corresponding to the selected tokens in time-synchronization with corresponding authentication entities. Additionally, embodiments described herein provide for restoring the OTP sequence corresponding to the selected tokens on the first device following a loss of synchronization of the selected tokens on the first device.
