For a more technical references check out Dan Boneh and Victor Shoup's cryptography book (pg 789). [0] For the Gophers out there, I wrote a Go library for doing PAKE [1], which I use for a data transfer utility [2]. [0]: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/cryptobook/BonehShoup_0_4....

There are so many tools that can transfer files between two computers. I really like ones like this because you don't have to have SSH access or forward any ports to send a file from A to B. Its similar vein to other peer-to-peer utilities like zget [1], sharedrop [2], instant.io (webtorrent) [3], filepizza (webtorrent) [4], magic-wormhole [5], toss [6], dat [7], and many many others. During Hacktoberfest I also started my own, written in Go, so I could have my friends can use it without installing a Python ecosystem [8].
