Talk:Oakley protocol

Untitled
Diffie-Hellman came up with an accepted algorithm for two systems to use public key encryption to publicly but securely exchange DES or 3DES (or other) encryption keys. (Exercise for the reader: what does this have to do with what we talked about a couple of paragraphs back?) OAKLEY is an improvement on this. (Historical humor: Diffie is a Sun Microsystems fellow; supposedly Oakley is named after the sunglasses company, as in "Sun protection".)
