!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is described in [RFC 2945] as a cryptographically strong network [authentication mechanism|Authentication Method] known as the [Secure Remote Password Protocol] [(SRP)].  

[{$pagename}] mechanism is suitable for negotiating secure connections using a user-supplied password, while eliminating the security problems traditionally associated with reusable passwords.

[{$pagename}] system also performs a secure [Key-Exchange] in the process of [authentication], allowing security layers (privacy and/or integrity protection) to be enabled during the session.  

Trusted key servers and certificate infrastructures are not required, and clients are not required to store or manage any long-term keys.  

[SRP] offers both security and deployment advantages over existing [challenge-response] techniques, making it an ideal drop-in replacement where secure password authentication is needed.
