proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo:
Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS.
This commit is the start of the NEW history.
Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point.
Creation process:
1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot
2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files
3. Transform all Manifests to thin
4. Remove empty Manifests
5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$
5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags.

Once this information is + captured, it can be used at a later time to gain access to the system. + One-time password systems are designed to counter this type of attack, + called a "replay attack." + + The authentication system described in this document uses a secret + pass-phrase to generate a sequence of one-time (single use) passwords. + With this system, the user's secret pass-phrase never needs to cross the + network at any time such as during authentication or during pass-phrase + changes. Thus, it is not vulnerable to replay attacks. Added security + is provided by the property that no secret information need be stored on + any system, including the server being protected. + + The OTP system protects against external passive attacks against the + authentication subsystem. It does not prevent a network eavesdropper from + gaining access to private information and does not provide protection + against either "social engineering" or active attacks. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
