SRP_create_verifier,
SRP_create_verifier_BN,
SRP_check_known_gN_param,
SRP_get_default_gN
- SRP authentication primitives

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/srp.h>

 char *SRP_create_verifier_BN(const char *user, const char *pass, BIGNUM **salt,
                              BIGNUM **verifier, const BIGNUM *N, const BIGNUM *g);
 char *SRP_create_verifier(const char *user, const char *pass, char **salt,
                           char **verifier, const char *N, const char *g);

 char *SRP_check_known_gN_param(const BIGNUM *g, const BIGNUM *N);
 SRP_gN *SRP_get_default_gN(const char *id);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The SRP_create_verifier_BN() function creates an SRP password verifier from
the supplied parameters as defined in section 2.4 of RFC 5054.
On successful exit B<*verifier> will point to a newly allocated BIGNUM containing
the verifier and (if a salt was not provided) B<*salt> will be populated with a
newly allocated BIGNUM containing a random salt. If B<*salt> is not NULL then
the provided salt is used instead.
The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated B<*salt> and B<*verifier>
BIGNUMS (use L<BN_free(3)>).

The SRP_create_verifier() function is similar to SRP_create_verifier_BN() but
all numeric parameters are in a non-standard base64 encoding originally designed
for compatibility with libsrp. This is mainly present for historical compatibility
and its use is discouraged.
It is possible to pass NULL as B<N> and an SRP group id as B<g> instead to
load the appropriate gN values (see SRP_get_default_gN()).
If both B<N> and B<g> are NULL the 8192-bit SRP group parameters are used.
The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated B<*salt> and B<*verifier>
(use L<OPENSSL_free(3)>).

The SRP_check_known_gN_param() function checks that B<g> and B<N> are valid
SRP group parameters from RFC 5054 appendix A.

The SRP_get_default_gN() function returns the gN parameters for the RFC 5054 B<id>
SRP group size.
The known ids are "1024", "1536", "2048", "3072", "4096", "6144" and "8192".

=head1 RETURN VALUES

SRP_create_verifier_BN() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

SRP_create_verifier() returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL value on success:
"*" if B<N> is not NULL, the selected group id otherwise. This value should
not be freed.

SRP_check_known_gN_param() returns the text representation of the group id
(ie. the prime bit size) or NULL if the arguments are not valid SRP group parameters.
This value should not be freed.

SRP_get_default_gN() returns NULL if B<id> is not a valid group size,
or the 8192-bit group parameters if B<id> is NULL.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Generate and store a 8192 bit password verifier (error handling
omitted for clarity):

 #include <openssl/bn.h>
 #include <openssl/srp.h>

 const char *username = "username";
 const char *password = "password";

 SRP_VBASE *srpData = SRP_VBASE_new(NULL);

 SRP_gN *gN = SRP_get_default_gN("8192");

 BIGNUM *salt = NULL, *verifier = NULL;
 SRP_create_verifier_BN(username, password, &salt, &verifier, gN->N, gN->g);

 SRP_user_pwd *pwd = SRP_user_pwd_new();
 SRP_user_pwd_set1_ids(pwd, username, NULL);
 SRP_user_pwd_set0_sv(pwd, salt, verifier);
 SRP_user_pwd_set_gN(pwd, gN->g, gN->N);

 SRP_VBASE_add0_user(srpData, pwd);
