Re: IETF solution for pairing cellular hosts

You can enable this protocol when you need to pair your phone
with another user's phone. Because manual exchange is difficult.

Now I don't understand what problem you are trying to solve. If the two phones are physically close to each other, we have existing short-range data exchange systems such as infrared and Bluetooth that work fine. If the two parties already know each other, there is presumably some existing communication path such as e-mail they can use to exchange credentials.

On the other hand, if you are trying to solve the introduction problem, how to establish a channel between two people who don't already know each other, that's a famous swamp, and taking a couple of phones into the swamp doesn't change the issues.
