Section 4.2 says:
Basically, we define TOTP as TOTP = HOTP(K, T), where T is an integer and represents the number of time steps between the initial counter time T0 and the current Unix time.
It should say:
We define TOTP as TOTP = HOTP(K, T), where T is an integer and represents the number of time steps between the initial counter time T0 and the current Unix time.
Notes:
As mentioned in a previous errata, starting a sentence with
`Basically' is often considered bad form. Qualifiers such as
basically add nothing to the sentence and should generally be
avoided.
