NSE 6 – Network Security Specialist — Question 1

Which of these is an OATH-based standard to generate one-time password tokens?

Answer options

• A. SCEP
• B. EAP-TLS
• C. TOTP
• D. HOTP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, TOTP, which stands for Time-based One-Time Password. SCEP and EAP-TLS are not related to one-time passwords, as SCEP is used for certificate enrollment and EAP-TLS is an authentication protocol. HOTP is also a valid OATH standard, but it is based on event counting rather than time-based generation.
