Interesting, we could explore different trust models, like pgp's web of trust, perhaps even using the pgp public key servers. Or perhaps a multi referral trust model: ask others we trust if they know and trust the new party. In any case I'd like to avoid the CertificateAuthority model.

Cheers,

Peter.

Some notes:

* the most basic trust bootstrap is generating a local priv/pub keypair for your own identity, so without introducer.
* in this case, verification occurs outside the scope of river.
* in order to exchange unknown public keys with TLS, we need a key collecting X509TrustManager, inserted into river via the com.sun.jini.jeri.ssl.trustManagerFactoryAlgorithm property.
