Excerpt from the README:
|
|
SRP stands for the Secure Remote Password protocol, which is a secure
|
|
password-based authentication and key-exchange mechanism that can be
|
|
used to establish session security and mutual authentication over
|
|
untrusted networks without requiring an external public-key infrastructure
|
|
or trusted third parties. The SRP distribution consists of a fully-
|
|
featured, portable library that implements SRP-based secure password
|
|
authentication as well as implementations of popular applications and
|
|
services like Telnet and FTP with support for transport security and
|
|
SRP. These password-based applications leverage the strength of the
|
|
SRP authentication mechanism to offer fairly good protection against
|
|
both passive and active network attacks, which is an improvement over
|
|
most existing password-only techniques.
