SRP is a protocol which was created by Thomas Wu at Stanford University to allow the secure authentication based on a user name and a password.
The protocol is robust i.e. tolerates wide range of attacks, preventing an attack on any part or parts of the system from leading to further security compromises.
It does not require any trusted third party (e.g. a certificate issuer or PKI) which makes it very comfortable to use. For technical details please refer to SRP home page or detailed SRP paper or protocol summary.
The following diagram shows how the SRP sequence is implemented in this example:
