Alex, your are 100% correct. Whitfield & Martin (using modular arithmetic) found a beautiful algorithm in which partners agree in a same key exchanging part of his/her initial secret key. Never the key will be exchanged in the public network. As the key is the same for both partners, it is good for symetric encryption (fast) like DES.

Each peer computes it out separately. Where did you see in CCO saying that the DES key is sent across the internet?
