SAP ABAP: TOTP Generation (Time-based one-time password algorithm)

former_member202253 — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 19:26:52 GMT

Dear Guru's,

I hope you are well.

We have requirement to generate TOTP using ABAP and I got stuck on the requirement to generate TOTP tokens from SAP ABAP. This is very easy and doable in JAVA but challenging in ABAP.

Based on my analysis this can be doable using Class: CL_ABAP_HMAC.

I am trying to convert Java Code to ABAP but I am stuck on some of the places where byte Array in Java Code and not able to make it result like java code.

Also I have gone through : https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6238 and based on this I was trying code for JAVA and ABAP.

I am attaching both codes for your reference.

It would be helpful if you can advise. How can I get results like in the Java class?

Thank you

Hi Sandra, Attached code file.

Re: SAP ABAP: TOTP Generation (Time-based one-time password algorithm)

larshp — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 16:08:30 GMT

For the code example, I guess its for https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4226 ?

Anyhow,

& = bit and = BIT-AND in ABAP
For shifting left, its easiest to multiply with 2^num_of_bits, note that ABAP internally uses 32bit integer for calculations
% = modulus = MOD in ABAP

Thanks Lars,

I am able to generate HASH(Alpha numeric) and wanted to get 6 digit Code like java is producing. Not sure how offset and trunc variable is working.

Any pointer would be helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Sandra,

Any advice how to convert Java code to ABAP

byte[] hash = macobj.doFinal(timeBytesobj);
		int offset = hash[19] & 0xf;
		long trunc = hash[offset] & 0x7f;
		for ( int i = 1; i < 4 ; i++)
		{
			trunc <<= 8;
			trunc |= hash[offset + i]  & 0xff;
		}
		return ( trunc %= 1000000 );

Thanks,

Nikhil

Re: SAP ABAP: TOTP Generation (Time-based one-time password algorithm)

Sandra_Rossi — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 05:22:56 GMT

It seems quite simple to understand. What is your issue?

Equivalences:

& : BIT-AND
| : BIT-OR
bytestring[ number ] : bytestring+number(1)
0xHH : CONSTANTS hh TYPE x LENGTH 1 VALUE 'HH'.
<<= 8 : move bits "left" by 8 bits = move 1 byte to the left (CONCATENATE xstring onebyte INTO xstring IN BYTE MODE)
% : MOD

This code is part of a library, you didn't provide the java code corresponding to it:

		Mac macobj = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA1");
		macobj.init(signkey);
		byte[] hash = macobj.doFinal(timeBytesobj);

If it's just SHA-1 calculation, you can use the classic SHA-1 stuff in ABAP.
