      How?

      If the OOB is not encrypted --> hello MITM attack or impersonation (unless of course you’re physically in the same place, which is quite limiting)

      If it’s encrypted, why not just keep using encrypted channel? I have to find an encrypted channel to initiate an encrypted chat?

      I’m not seeing the benefit

        I can give someone my ID in person. I control how it’s delivered.
