csrp is a minimal C implementation of the Secure Remote Password protocol. The project consists of a single C file and is intended for direct inclusion into utilizing programs. It's only dependency is OpenSSL.
NOTE This SRP implementation was created before the hashing algoritim specified in RFC 5054 became the de-facto standard for interoperable SRP implementations. The rfc5054_compat branch of this repository uses the RFC 5054 hashing algorithms and is known to be compatible with other SRP implementations. If this version works for you, please consider submitting a patch to this library that implements both the original default and the RFC 5054 implementation to allow a single mainline version of this library going forward.
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.
This library serves as the basis for a compatible Python module called pysrp. The pysrp project contains complete, user-friendly API documentation as well as a comprehensive overview of the SRP protocol. As the APIs are virtually identical, the pysrp documentation is an excellent reference for understanding this library.
