Description : secure remote password implementation
Description
-----------
This package provides an implementation of the Secure Remote Password
protocol (SRP). SRP is a cryptographically strong authentication
protocol for password-based, mutual authentication over an insecure
network connection.
Unlike other common challenge-response autentication protocols, such as
Kerberos and SSL, SRP does not rely on an external infrastructure of
trusted key servers or certificate management. Instead, SRP server
applications use verification keys derived from each user's password to
determine the authenticity of a network connection.
SRP provides mutual-authentication in that successful authentication
requires both sides of the connection to have knowledge of the user's
password. If the client side lacks the user's password or the server
side lacks the proper verification key, the authentication will fail.
Unlike SSL, SRP does not directly encrypt all data flowing through the
authenticated connection. However, successful authentication does result
in a cryptographically strong shared key that can be used for
symmetric-key encryption.
