Line 49:
=== Password-authenticated key exchange ===
A [[password]] can be used as the basis of a [[key agreement]] protocol, to establish temporary session keys and mutually authenticate the client and server.
In [[basic authentication]], the server learns the user's password during the course of the authentication. If the server is compromised, this exposes the user's password which compromises the security of the user.
