I recall suggesting some time ago that each node could create a public/private key pair, and attach the public key to its address which other nodes could then learn about. A node wishing to send a message to another node could then encrypt the message using the public key.
I can't recall whether someone pointed out a problem with this - can anyone else recall what we decided? I mention this now because if we do want to implement this in the future then we should ensure that our 0.3 release doesn't choke on a future extended node address syntax which includes a public key.
