Also Excellent!  Would this be more along the lines of adding it at the
application layer (telnet)?

 Rather than tying this to a particular app protocol I would love to see it
at the TLS layer so that it generates the pre-master secret directly.

  When I was thinking about this a while ago I considered doing the SRP
seperate from TLS and then using it to do crypto seperately in a bulk way
and not relying on TLS.  Is there any strong feeling one way or the
other?  I personally like the work Mr. Taylor has done as a starting point.

Later,
