//! [Secure Remote Password][1] (SRP) protocol implementation.
//! 
//! This implementation uses little-endian serialization of big integers and is
//! generic over hash functions using `Digest` trait, so you will need to choose
//! a hash function, e.g. `Sha256` from `sha2` crate. Additionally this crate
//! allows to use a specialized password hashing algorithms for private key
//! computation instead of method described in the SRP literature.
//! 
//! Currently compatability with over implementations was not tested.
//! 
//! # Algorithm description
//! Here we briefly describe implemented algroithm. For additionall information
//! refer to SRP literature. All arithmetic is done modulo `N`, where `N` is a 
//! large safe prime (`N = 2q+1`, where `q` is prime).
//! 
//! Client |       | Server
//! -------|-------|--------
//!                         |    — `I` —>   | (lookup `s`, `v`)
//! `x = PH(P, s)`          | <— `s`, `v` — | 
//! `a_pub = g^a`           |  — `a_pub` —> | `b_pub = k*v + g^b`
//! `u = H(a_pub || b_pub)` |  <— `b_pub` — | `u = H(a_pub || b_pub)`
//! `s = (b_pub - k*g^x)^(a+u*x)` |         | `S = (b_pub - k*g^x)^(a+u*x)`
//! `K = H(s)`              |               | `K = H(s)`
//! `M1 = H(A || B || K)`   |   — `M1` —>   | (verify `M1`)
//! (verify `M2`)           |   <— `M2` —   | `M2 = H(A || M1 || K)`
//! 
//! `||` denotes concatenation, variables and notations have the following
//! meaning:
//! 
//! - `I` — user identity (username)
//! - `P` — user password
//! - `H` — one-way hash function
//! - `HP` — password hashing algroithm, in the SRP described as
//! `H(s || I || P)` or `H(s || P)`
//! - `^` — (modular) exponentiation
//! - `x` — user private key
//! - `s` — salt generated by user and stored on the server
//! - `v` — password verifier equal to `g^x` and stored on the server
//! - `a`, `b` — secret ephemeral values
//! - `A`, `B` — Public ephemeral values
//! - `u` — scrambling parameter
//! - `g` — a generator modulo `N`
//! - `k` — multiplier parameter (`k = H(N || g)` in SRP-6a)
//!
