I don't think discussing this here would be considered an open
disclosure.
Talking on a finite list or limited membership with moderation and thus
controlled membership is not necessarily open disclosure and not the
same as a public printing therefore I think it would still be
patentable.

that you've published here is no longer able to be but was worthy of a

Not only could the method of shaking but the timing of shaking could
have been the key.
Eg hold two devices next to each other and shake them up and down -
because of the semi-physical connection they would have the same
accelerometer readings this couldn't be replicated unless you had
someone 'watching' you move them up and down and was copying the
movements within the tolerance errors.

If Bob (or Alice) hands his (or her) phone to the other, then if both
phones are shaken in the same hand, the acceleration pattern might
provide an extremely unique yet similar signature, not unlike
exchanging
an encryption key.
So if you want to establish a trusted relationship with another Neo
user, the two phones are shaken together until the software indicates
that you have generated a complex enough pattern that has been
recognized on the other.

Michael, this is (I think) brilliant!
We could call it... "the handshake" (OK, anyone who doesn't know why
that's funny, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handshaking).
