Is this exponentation or bitwise XOR I'm reading about SRP from this page and came accross the line that says a party computes


  v = g^x


I am unfamiliar with reading cryptography texts. Does this mean gx, or g ⊕ x?
In SRP, v = g^x means $v = g^x \mod p$, i.e. exponentiation modulo a large prime $p$.
