QUESTION: Current Users ?

[alexgoldstone]

Since this is a relatively new implementation, I am just wondering if it is in use anywhere yet?

[LinusU]

I'm currently using it in a product that is in private testing right now, but apart from that I don't think that anyone is using it.

I would love for the Node.js community to have a stable implementation of SRP that's easy to use, and my ambition is that this module will become that module. But since this is very new there is still a long way to go.

It would be awesome to get some company involved with Node.js security (Lyft, nsp, Snyk?) to do a proper audit of the source code, but at the moment I don't personally have the funds to get that going. But maybe someone would be willing to donate some time to an open source library :)

I'll probably reach out to them when I'm happy with the external API, which I hope to happen quite soon. At that point I would also tag some kind of 1.x version (maybe 1.0.0-rc.1 at first, and 1.0.0 after an audit)

Open to any ideas! 😄

@LinusU I am trying to implement this authentication in https://github.com/onepassapp/onepass

Implemented it till the last verify session.

Could you clarity some doubts?

The whole code is wrapped under a try-catch, so do I need to put a special condition to check if the session was verified successfully?

I need to dispatch the action followed by the function which updates state from isAuthenticated: false to true

also I was wondering, how the following requests after login would be carried out.

Maybe using a JWT token or something would be perfect right?

The last step is optional right? If that is the case,I it okay to transfer JWT token along with it?

Then you should be good to go 👍

That should work great 👍

Not sure what you mean here, there is no optional steps 🤔

@LinusU Thanks for getting back to me, does this package requires updates or something?

@onepassapp completely relies on this package for authentication (uses pbkdf2)

Also, Is it necessary to generate salt using saltGen function provided with this package?

I used node-forge for that. All it requires a 32byte random string right?
