Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, media and signals for facilitating secure communication between a first device and a second device are disclosed. One method includes automatically identifying a common key server potentially accessible by both the first and second devices, and obtaining a secure private key from the common key server, for use in encrypting communications between the first and second devices. Identifying may include identifying as the common key server, a key server at an intersection of a first communication path defined between a first key server having a previously established relationship with the first device and a master key server, and a second communication path defined between a second key server having a previously established relationship with the second device and the master key server. Obtaining may include obtaining a plurality of private keys and blending the keys to produce a final private session key.
