Hi,

since we did not agree on the aims and implementation for Secure
Communication, I'll start an new effort on getting the agreement.

The sole aim of Secure Communication is:
* prevent eavesdropping <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eavesdropping>

To prevent eavesdropping, two things have to be ensured:

1) Ensure nobody else is able to "listen"

2) Ensure we are talking to the *right* person/server
   Otherwise we could talk to the eavesdropper without knowing it. So
   there would be nobody else listening, but we where simply talking to
   the wrong person/server.

Do we all agree on this?
