 {{{
      In all handshake variants, once all certificates are exchanged, all
      parties receiving certificates must confirm that the identity key is
 as
      expected.  (When initiating a connection, the expected identity key
 is
 -    the one given in the directory; when creating a connection because of

 If
      the key is not as expected, the party must close the connection.
