js-srp

This is an implementation of the SRP-6a protocol.

This library supports standard RFC2945 SRP-6a (needs validation,) SRPTools-compatible SRP, which is the same as RFC2945 but without the hash interleave, and opencoff/go-srp, whose differences are quoted here, from the opencoff/go-srp README.

Differences from SRP-6a and RFC 5054

We differ from the SRP-6a spec and RFC 5054 in a couple of key ways:

  • We hash the identity I; this provides some (minimal) protection against dictionary attacks on the username.
  • We hash the user passphrase p; this expands shorter passphrase into longer ones and extends the alphabet used in the passphrase.
  • We differ from RFC 5054 in our choice of hash function; we use Blake-2b. SHA-1 is getting long in the tooth, Blake2b is the current state-of-the art. Equivalently, one may use SHA3 (see below for using a user supplied hash function).

Blake2b is not currently supported because it is not offered by WebCrypto; instead, you can choose between the overlapping supported hash functions between Go and WebCrypto.

Currently, only client functionality is implemented.

This library does not have any external runtime dependencies. It requires a JavaScript runtime that supports w3c Typed Arrays, BigInt, and WebCrypto, which includes the majority of web browsers and JavaScript engines.
