Thinbus Javascript Secure Remote Password (SRP) Tester

This is a demo application of how to register and authenticate a user with the Thinbus Secure Remote Password (SRP SRP6a) library thinbus-srp.

To get the code either clone the repo or to install the latest npm release locally with the following command:

npm v thinbus-srp-tester dist.tarball | xargs curl | tar -xvz 
cd package

To run it:

npm start

Then open a browser at http://localhost:8080/

When you authenticate (after you have registered) both the browser and the server with console.log a line such as:

shared key: aa8942427a348b8ed3386df47458feb2b2eef9a9fe9e121d2a41fa2d60994750

That log line is the strong session key K as described on the SRP design page. This can be used for follow on cryptography such as HMAC signing of JWT web tokens using HS256.
