At the very least Alice/Bob need an authenticated/trusted channel for this. If Alice sends Bob her "public key" over an untrusted channel, it can be intercepted by an MitM posing as Bob who can then intercept all traffic between Alice/Bob -- Tony Arcieri Hi Tony, I actually worried about this quite a bit. The best solution I could think of is making a hashed ID of the public key (PassLok has a button for that), which Alice/Bob can dictate over the phone, thus authenticating the key. Any other ideas?
