[mnet-devel] Cryptography

[Adam Grant]

Hi Mnet developers,
   I was reading in the documentation included with Mnet that public 
keys are used to encrypt message traffic.  We'd like to use EGTP in a 
consumer application where lots of files (some fairly large ~100 - 300 
k) will be going back and forth.

Q1a: Wouldn't encrypting all the messages with public keys be slow?

Q1b: What algorithm is being used?

Q2: If you're actually using the public keys to exchange private keys 
for a speedier algorithm like MD5 or SHA-1, what protocol are you using 
to do the exchange?

Thanks!
Adam
