- The problem of detecting a spoof in between two ends of a
- Diffie-Hellman exchange is unsolved, as far as I know, using any known
- protocol. Is that changed if the crypto boxes at each end can have an
- embedded unique electronic ID that cannot be retrieved from the box
- (hypothetically at least?)
