Excuse me here... I'm a telnet hack and not a cryptologist... How about having a mechanism whereby two machines that have previously not communicated and are not under the same administrative umbrella can communicate securely with each other? Say, DES with Diffie-Hillman key exchange? I see it as two different problems also. That the remote machine relies on a weak authentication mechanism such as the UNIX password file is a separate problem to be solved elsewhere. My gripe is that I don't want my password going in cleartext over the network, and not everyone does S/Key. Why can't we focus our attention on this? If Jeff is watching this he will probably flame me for being naive. He may be right... -Philip
