SRP is good. Apple uses it for HomeKit. The HomeKit pins you use are authenticated by SRP. The page is just a really old demo, the protocol itself is still sound and some have come up with variations for more security.
Also it has the ability to generate a session key.
- tialaramex 6y agoSRP is... weird. The good news is that using SRP is definitely not worse than DH as a key agreement protocol. The bad news is you probably already have a nice modern ECDH key agreement protocol, you wanted secure passwords and the proof for how SRP does that involves a lot of flailing about. Flailing about which so far reached SRP version 6a If browsers and backend stacks and everything else was one config change from doing SRP 6a tomorrow it's tempting to say hey, go ahead it can't hurt. But in fact SRP is very niche, so it makes at least as much sense to try to deploy OPAQUE or other things that have a clearer security rationale.
