C# Class GSF.Security.Authentication.CertificateUserCredentials

Provides simple password based authentication that uses Secure Remote Password.

It is safe to store the user's credential on the server. This is a zero knowledge password proof, meaning if this database is compromised, a brute force attack is the only way to reveal the password.
