Here's a very expensive protocol, but I think it works:
Alice & Bob each encrypt a random # with the PK's of all the folks they
want to talk to & exchange the results. Only if they both want to talk
to each other will they both have the two random numbers which can be
used to make a session key for exchanging identities.
