Does (A) need to be able to access this secret identity information, or is it just holding it for (B)?Dan Pichelman– Dan Pichelman2016-01-12 20:49:29 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2016 at 20:49

It's holding it for (B). The idea is that if a hacker hacks (A), without a private key from (B), he's going to be out of luck. And no amount of intercepting the web traffic on (A) is going to help. I'm just trying to do this in the most secure, industry-standard way.Volomike– Volomike2016-01-13 01:51:40 +00:00Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 1:51

In that case, why does (A) need any knowledge of encryption at all? Just have (B) pass in the data already encrypted.Dan Pichelman– Dan Pichelman2016-01-13 13:46:04 +00:00Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 13:46

Okay, I posted a preliminary answer. Do you think this can work and is a best practice?Volomike– Volomike2016-01-13 20:56:41 +00:00Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 20:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
