Re: Key exchange



Thank's TC Alice and Bob drives me nuts but that -someone- seems to be
a nice fella, hell that someone seem to be a bright fella maybe that
someone solved the factorisation problem too already in -97 and mailed
it to someone. Because someone wasn't ready for someone to really break
it, so someone could not face factorisation problem was solved. And
then somone decided to forget all about it since someone found the
whole matter very tiresome and a bit overhead.

Hope someone isn't Alice or Bob in any of the cases, would be much more
nice if it was James and Aeon or Lee and Li or Ivan and Ivana or Rune
and Berit.

I have no idea about what is so tiresome with Alice and Bob but any
other names would do it for me.

Thanky you for briefing me JT

Please no alice and bob stuff just the obvious methods for exchanging keys.

Someone encrypts a new symmetric key with someone's public key. Then
someone decrypts it with someone's private key so someone and someone
can reset their ciphers. But you have to be careful of the "someone in
the middle" attack, where somone taps the communication between someone
& someone to read someones's messages.
