I wondered how practical it would be to enable key exchange and signing via NFC/beaming. It seems that it would be a quick and relatively secure way to exchange public keys in person (with the protocol being for the people involved to check that their own key's hash appears on the recipient's screen).

    When public keys have been exchanged, some kind of "visual hash" should be displayed on both screens, based on the exchanged key(s), so that MITM won't be undetected.
