+## libsrp6a-sha512
+
+Source: https://github.com/secure-remote-password/stanford-srp
+Based on commit 587900d32777348f98477cb25123d5761fbe3725.
+[LICENCE](libsrp6a-sha512/LICENSE)
+
+For the usage within libimobiledevice, only [libsrp](https://github.com/secure-remote-password/stanford-srp/tree/master/libsrp)
+has been used as a basis.
+It has been adapted to the needs of the libimobiledevice project, and
+contains just a part of the original code; it only supports the SRP6a
+client method which has been modified to use SHA512 instead of SHA1,
+hence the name was changed to `libsrp6a-sha512`.
+More details about the modifications can be found in [libsrp6a-sha512/README.md](libsrp6a-sha512/README.md).
