pysrp | Python implementation of the Secure Remote Password protocol | Authentication library

pysrp is a Python library typically used in Security, Authentication applications. pysrp has no bugs, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However pysrp has 1 vulnerabilities. You can install using 'pip install pysrp' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

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. For a full description of the pysrp package and the SRP protocol, please refer to the [pysrp documentation] Note: RFC5054 now provides the de-facto standard for the hashing algorithm used for interoperable SRP implementations. When using pysrp to interact with another SRP implementation, use the srp.rfc5054_enable() method to enable RFC5054 compatibility. Otherwise a pysrp-specific default implementation will be used.
