This chapter discusses the ArcotID OTP Software Development Kit (SDK) that you can use to build client applications for authenticating users by using their ArcotID OTP. The most common tasks performed using this SDK are provisioning the ArcotID OTP account to the user’s device and generating passcodes. Other tasks are outlined in the following list:
The chapter introduces you to the interfaces and classes that you will be using for different tasks and later explains the usage in detail.
To perform ArcotID OTP authentication, you need to first create an account for the user that contains the ArcotID OTP information and save it on their device. The Provisioning ArcotID OTP Accounts section discusses the provisionAccount() method in the API class that you use to create ArcotID OTP accounts.
To perform ArcotID OTP authentication, the users have to first generate a passcode for authentication. The Generating Passcodes section discusses the generateOTP() method in the API class that you use to generate passcodes.
The Resetting ArcotID OTP PIN section discusses the resetPin() method in OTP class that you use to change the user’s ArcotID OTP PIN.
The Managing Accounts section discusses the methods of the API class that you use for reading and deleting ArcotID OTP accounts stored in the default location.
If you choose to store the accounts in a custom location, then you have to implement the Store interface. Refer to the Choosing Custom Storage Medium section. To store the accounts in memory, use MemoryStore class. Refer to the Storing Accounts in Memory section.
Depending on the device that is being used, ArcotID OTP library supports default parameters for locking the account to the device. If you want to lock an account to the device by using the parameters of your choice, then implement the DeviceLock interface, as discussed in the Device Locking section.
The Reading ArcotID OTP Account Details section discusses the API class fields that hold the ArcotID OTP details such as, unique identifier for the account, timestamp when the account was used, number of times the account was used, and friendly name for the account. It also discusses the classes that are used to set and get additional ArcotID OTP attributes.
The Checking Library Version section discusses the getVersion() method in OTP class that you need to use if you want to check the version of ArcotID OTP SDK.
