generate_message_signature(query_string)[source]

Returns a HMAC-SHA-1 signature for the given query string. http://goo.gl/R4O0E

generate_query_string(otp, nonce, timestamp=False, sl=None, timeout=None)[source]

Returns a query string which is sent to the validation servers.

get_parameters_as_dictionary(query_string)[source]

Returns:

True is the provided OTP is valid, False if the

verify_multi(otp_list, max_time_window=5, sl=None, timeout=None)[source]

Verify a provided list of OTPs.

Parameters:max_time_window (int) – Maximum number of seconds which can pass between the first and last OTP generation for the OTP to still be considered valid.
verify_response(response, otp, nonce, return_response=False)[source]

Returns True if the OTP is valid (status=OK) and return_response=False, otherwise (return_response = True) it returns the server response as a dictionary.

Throws an exception if the OTP is replayed, the server response message verification failed or the client id is invalid, returns False otherwise.

class yubico_client.otp.OTP(otp, translate_otp=True)[source]

Class which holds data about an OTP.

get_otp_modehex_interpretation(otp)[source]

Return modhex interpretation of the provided OTP.

Returns:Modhex interpretation of the OTP.
Return type:str
