Abstract
A method and system for negotiating a secure device-to-device communications channel between a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a first user and the second computing device is associated with a second user. The method comprises receiving, at a server, a first connection request comprising first address data and a first cryptographic key associated with the first computing device, the first connection request being received over a first secure communications channel, and receiving, at the server, a second connection request comprising second address data and a second cryptographic key associated with the second computing device, the second connection request being received over a second secure communications channel.
