-------------------------------------

Hi Darran,

There is the protocol SRP.  Not sure if it would work in this situation, but worth looking into.

Regards.

> Potentially this is a bit of a research task, as I have mentioned in a couple of places I don't like relying on SSL exclusively for confidentiality - my reasons being it is perfect until their is a compromise and then it is as useful as a chocolate tea pot ;-)
> A lot of the emphasis in the Elytron development so far has been implementation of the more secure SASL mechanisms to eliminate weak password exchanges between a client and the server - however we still have the need for password to be set remotely, this task is to explore some of those options.
> Are there any existing protocols to remotely set a password securely?
> Is there anything specific to our current password types we can take advantage of?
> Are there features of any of our SASL mechanisms to apply a second layer of confidentiality?
> Any other options?
