[edit] Emphasis on pre-computation of passwords
From a user's perspective the passwords aren't all generated in advance. Although this can happen, most users use S/Key as a challenge-response system with the server prompting for the current iteration requested and providing a seed as well. I've tried to clarify this point, but it's late and I may have been a bit clumsy. Feel free to edit towards perfection. Also, the article does not mention the hex->ascii dictionary which is a part of the RFC implementation of S/Key. This is an interesting point and may be encyclopedic. -- cmh 05:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
