// Package scram provides client and server implementations of the Salted
// Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) described in RFC-5802
// and RFC-7677.
//
// Usage
//
// The scram package provides two variables, `SHA1` and `SHA256`, that are
// used to construct Client or Server objects.
//
//     clientSHA1,   err := scram.SHA1.NewClient(username, password, authID)
//     clientSHA256, err := scram.SHA256.NewClient(username, password, authID)
//
//     serverSHA1,   err := scram.SHA1.NewServer(credentialLookupFcn)
//     serverSHA256, err := scram.SHA256.NewServer(credentialLookupFcn)
//
// These objects are used to construct ClientConversation or
// ServerConversation objects that are used to carry out authentication.
