1) a FOI request might not result in the Code Generator source code,
but FOI should be able to illuminate the decision making around how the
app came to be, say versus a list of recommended TOTP apps.

2) a potential claim that the app has a national security sensitivity
would imply the agency has done a lot of paperwork to meet the
requirements of a novel national security cryptographic system, and
some of that may be obtainable by FOI. In particular the list of ISM
exceptions would be long and fundamental, eg: the TOTP secret key does
not roll over often enough, the app is fielded onto uncontrolled
hardware and unmanaged operating systems.
