    Hi,

    Is there a definitive "best practices" example of exchanging text messages
    between a client and host? I'm looking for something along these lines:

        - The client sends their encrypted credentials to the host.
        - The host verifies the credentials and creates a key pair.
        - The client and host communicate securely via encrypted, Base64
    strings.

    Any help locating some sample code would be appreciated.
