SRP6Client (Bouncy Castle Library 1.52 API Specification)

org.bouncycastle.crypto.agreement.srp

## Class SRP6Client

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.agreement.srp.SRP6Client

-     public class SRP6Client
      extends java.lang.Object

  Implements the client side SRP-6a protocol. Note that this class is stateful, and therefore NOT threadsafe. This implementation of SRP is based on the optimized message sequence put forth by Thomas Wu in the paper "SRP-6: Improvements and Refinements to the Secure Remote Password Protocol, 2002"
