Description : Generic Low Overhead Message Exchange

Generic Low Overhead Message Exchange (GLOME) is a protocol providing
secure authentication and authorization for low dependency environments.
It resembles one-time authorization codes (aka OTPs) but is different
from HOTP and TOTP in the following ways:
* It is stateless (unlike HOTP).
* It does not depend on time unlike TOTP).
* It does not require predefined secret sharing (unlike HOTP and TOTP).

These properties make it a good choice for low dependency environments
(e.g., devices with no persistent storage a real-time clock). It can be
also useful for managing access to a large fleet of hosts where
synchronising state or sharing predefined secrets can be a challenge.

The package provides a PAM module, login(1) replacement, CLI utility and
a shared library.
