Title: Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:salted-challenge-response-authentication-mechanism URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_Challenge_Response_Authentication_Mechanism Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT In cryptography, the Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) is a family of modern, password-based challenge–response authentication mechanisms providing authentication of a user to a server. As it is specified for Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), it can be used for password-based logins to services like LDAP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP and JMAP (e-mail), XMPP (chat), or MongoDB and PostgreSQL (databases). For XMPP, supporting it is mandatory.
