This package is an implementation of RFC 4226: HOTP: An HMAC-Based One-Time Password Algorithm and RFC 6238: TOTP: Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm with slight deviations from the RFC based on the algorithmic reference implementation and tested using the RFC test values to ensure comaptibility with other HOTP and TOTP systems.

// To generate and checking a Time base OTP
totpToken := NewTOTP("secret", Time, 8, 30, 2, sha1.New)
totp := totpToken.Generate()
isValid := totp == totpToken.Check("12345678")
...
// To generate and checking a HMAC OTP
hotpToken := NewHOTP("secret", 0, 6, 5, sha1.New)
hotp := hotpToken.Generate()
isValid := hotp == hotpToken.Check("123456")
The checksum option is not included in this implementation as I feel most real world implementations don't use it or account for it.
The truncation offset is intended to give the entire hash digest the opportunity to contribute to the truncated portion of the hash. Removing this section does not make the algorithm more or less secure.
The OTP package was created to offer a simple, close implementation of RFC 4226 and RFC 6238 for easy consumption in Go.
