Can SRP be implemented using libsodium

Asked9 years, 4 months ago

I am using libsodium for cryptography and I want to use SRP for key exchange. The wikipedia page lists a python example, but I am not sure if and how I could convert this to libsodium function calls.

Is it possible or would I need to implement some operations myself?

It doesn't look like SRP is natively supported by libsodium, and as it is its own protocol, I would tend to down that it could be implemented entirely using libsodium function calls. You may want to look at pythonhosted.org/srp/srp.html

If you are implementing a new protocol, consider using OPAQUE via libopaque (github.com/stef/libopaque/tree/master/python) instead. It is almost always better than using SRP: blog.cryptographyengineering.com/should-you-use-srp
