+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The SRP functions described on this page are used to calculate various
+parameters and keys used by SRP as defined in RFC2945. The server key and I<B>
+and I<u> parameters are used on the server side and are calculated via
+SRP_Calc_server_key(), SRP_Calc_B_ex(), SRP_Calc_B(), SRP_Calc_u_ex() and
+SRP_Calc_u(). The client key and B<x> and B<A> parameters are used on the
+client side and are calculated via the functions SRP_Calc_client_key_ex(),
+SRP_Calc_client_key(), SRP_Calc_x_ex(), SRP_Calc_x() and SRP_Calc_A(). See
+RFC2945 for a detailed description of their usage and the meaning of the various
+BIGNUM parameters to these functions.
+
+Most of these functions come in two forms. Those that take a I<libctx> and
+I<propq> parameter, and those that don't. Any cryptogrpahic functions that
+are fetched and used during the calculation use the provided I<libctx> and
+I<propq>. See L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms> for more details. The variants
+that do not take a I<libctx> and I<propq> parameter use the default library
+context and property query string. The SRP_Calc_server_key() and SRP_Calc_A()
+functions do not have a form that takes I<libctx> or I<propq> parameters because
+they do not need to fetch any cryptographic algorithms.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+All these functions return the calculated key or parameter, or NULL on error.

+The SRP_create_verifier_BN_ex() function creates an SRP password verifier from
+the supplied parameters as defined in section 2.4 of RFC 5054 using the library
+context I<libctx> and property query string I<propq>. Any cryptographic
+algorithms that need to be fetched will use the I<libctx> and I<propq>. See
+L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms>.
+
+SRP_create_verifier_BN() is the same as SRP_create_verifier_BN_ex() except the
+default library context and property query string is used.
+
+On successful exit I<*verifier> will point to a newly allocated BIGNUM containing
+the verifier and (if a salt was not provided) I<*salt> will be populated with a
+newly allocated BIGNUM containing a random salt. If I<*salt> is not NULL then
the provided salt is used instead.

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.
