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 Kereros 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 that both sides of the connection must 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. + + For a full description of the pysrp package and the SRP protocol, + please refer to the `srp module documentation`_. + + .. _`srp module documentation`: http://packages.python.org/pysrp + + +Platform: OS Independent +Classifier: Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable +Classifier: Intended Audience :: Developers +Classifier: License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License +Classifier: Operating System :: OS Independent +Classifier: Programming Language :: Python +Classifier: Programming Language :: C +Classifier: Topic :: Security |
