Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for performing operations in an authentication token or other cryptographic device in a system comprising an authentication server. In one aspect, a code generated by the authentication server is received in the cryptographic device. The code may have associated therewith information specifying at least one operation to be performed by the cryptographic device. The cryptographic device authenticates the code, and responsive to authentication of the code, performs the specified operation. If the code is not authenticated, the operation is not performed. The code may be determined as a function of a one-time password generated by the authentication server. The function may also take as an input an identifier of the operation to be performed.
