According to [the specification] section _The SRP protocol_, `K` (which corresponds to the session key) is computed as follows: ``` K = H(S) ``` where `H` is the digest algorithm, and `S` is the common exponential value. In the [current implementation], `K` is equal to `S`, which does not follow the SRP protocol specification. This commit fixes this issue by computing the right value for `K`.

@zadlg your opinion on the existing PRs and any overlap and existing discussion would be appreciated |
