[security-services] Proposal to add new AuthenticationMethod
With this email I'd like to propose that we add an identifier for Secure
Remote Password (SRP) protocol (specified in RFC 2945) to the list of
AuthhenticationMethods. Brifely, SRP is based on Diffie-Hellman and
provides a more secure way of authenticating based on a password (or for
that matter any number of secrets).  The proposed change would be to add
the following to section 7.1 of Core:

Secure Remote Passowrd (SRP)
URI: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:am:SRP 
The authentication was performed by means of Secure Remote Password
protocol as specified in RFC 2945



Thanks,
Jahan
