| Jun 18, 2015 at 13:08 | comment | added | tylo | Eve can just say "Look, I am the server. Use this random key for your next exchange". The protocol is almost trivial, and has barely any protection at all. Basically this is a "hello world" example at best. | |
| May 19, 2015 at 11:23 | comment | added | SEJPM | why not use standard TLS with a ciphersuite like ECDHE_RSA_... between the clients? The server would then be used for the two to find each other and act "as a CA" to sign the certificates of the users, whereas the server certificate would be installed application specific. | |

| May 19, 2015 at 9:59 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | The protocol looks silly. The server can passively sniff the traffic between A and B. With a proper protocol the server would have to impersonate A or B, which risks detection if A and B compare their public keys (or a SAS) out of band. | |
