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.
