I want to encrypt a json object with a public key so I do not have to worry about it being transported without ssl/tls. As relaying on only one static key pair would be quite dangerous I wanted to use "dynamic" key pairs (one key pair for each connection).
I am not commong with Diffie-Hellman but it seems usable for this situaiton. Is this correct or would you recommend to stick with using the OpenSSL shell? Am Samstag, 31.
