Incidentally, if you think of TOTP as being HMAC(unix mod 30, secret), one idea would be to do public key crypto instead of symmetric HMAC stuff. That's basically what a security key is. If you additionally made it so that you couldn't phish the security key -- by having the OS + web browser know which apps can ask for which security keys -- you'd have reinvented WebAuthn. Another key part of FIDO2 phishing protection is challenge-response. The relying party sends some random material/nonce that the authenticator has to sign. This avoids replay attacks that e.g. a time-based method would have, since when a phisher tries to authenticate, the RP will send a different nonce and the phisher cannot sign it. |
