Hence the disclaimer in front... can you go any further than "take this with
3 grains of salt?"
I'll go dig out my copy of applied crypto and see where I went wrong, but
I was almost positive you needed to use RSA to bootstrap the initial
secret exchange.
Thanks for the correction, no thanks for the verbage attached.

(take this with 3 grains of salt, I am not an expert in D-H) but
the base technology requires use of RSA [...]
Diffie-Hellman key exchange has no relation to RSA public key
encryption.
It's very irresponsible to comment on security and/or legal matters
without knowing what you're talking about.
