-An algorithm used
to bootstrap from authentication to cryptography. Diffie-Hellman key exchange
is a
dynamic algorithm,
it cannot be used to send email
or other asynchronous communications (unless many emails
are sent in each direction prior to the first payload). The negioation
can be in the clear, but it __must__ be signed to prevent ManInTheMiddle attacks.

to a shared secret, a session key which can then
be used in ConventionalCryptography.
