=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/srp.h>

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

 /* server side .... */
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_server_key(const BIGNUM *A, const BIGNUM *v, const BIGNUM *u,
                             const BIGNUM *b, const BIGNUM *N);
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_B_ex(const BIGNUM *b, const BIGNUM *N, const BIGNUM *g,
                       const BIGNUM *v, OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_B(const BIGNUM *b, const BIGNUM *N, const BIGNUM *g,
                   const BIGNUM *v);

 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_u_ex(const BIGNUM *A, const BIGNUM *B, const BIGNUM *N,
                       OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_u(const BIGNUM *A, const BIGNUM *B, const BIGNUM *N);

 /* client side .... */
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_client_key_ex(const BIGNUM *N, const BIGNUM *B, const BIGNUM *g,
                             const BIGNUM *x, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *u,
                             OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_client_key(const BIGNUM *N, const BIGNUM *B, const BIGNUM *g,
                             const BIGNUM *x, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *u);
 BIGNUM *SRP_Calc_x_ex(const BIGNUM *s, const char *user, const char *pass,
                       OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. There are no
available replacement functions at this time.

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<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> 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.

=head1 HISTORY

SRP_Calc_B_ex, SRP_Calc_u_ex, SRP_Calc_client_key_ex and SRP_Calc_x_ex were
introduced in OpenSSL 3.0.

All of the other functions were added in OpenSSL 1.0.1.

All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
