Title : Salted Challenge Response (SCRAM) HTTP Authentication Mechanism Author : Alexey Melnikov Filename : draft-ietf-httpauth-scram-auth-14.txt Pages : 18 Date : 2015-12-05 Abstract: This specification describes a family of HTTP authentication mechanisms called the Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM), which provides a more robust authentication mechanism than a plaintext password protected by Transport Layer Security (TLS) and avoids the deployment obstacles presented by earlier TLS-protected challenge response authentication mechanisms.
