RustCrypto: Password-Authenticated Key Exchange
Traits which describe the functionality of [Password-Authenticated Key Exchange] (PAKE) algorithms.
About
Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) algorithms can be used to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel using only the client's knowledge of a password and the server's knowledge of a password hash for authentication. They can be thought of like other authenticated key exchange algorithms, like the ones in TLS which use X.509 certificates for identity, but where the identity is entirely established by the user's username and password, all without the client ever revealing their plaintext password to the server.
