Imagine two people who have never met in person but need to exchange sensitive documents over an open network. They agree on a single memorable password in advance and nothing else. The sender creates an encrypted message that only the recipient can open with that same password. No certificates, no trusted middleman, and no pre-installed keys are required. This capability comes from a cryptographic approach called password-authenticated public-key encryption, or PAPKE. It combines the conven
