TODO: need to define the pairing service, or API. The API approach assumes that pairing is outside our scope,
and is done using BT-LE, or any other existing mechanism. This is a bit of a cope-out. We could also define
a pairing system that just sets the pairing with equivalent security as the "push button" or "PIN" solutions
used for BT or Wi-Fi. And we could at this stage leverage pre-existing security association, e.g. PGP
used for BT or Wi-Fi. And we could at this stage leverage a pre-existing security association, e.g. PGP
identities or other certificates. If we do that, we should probably dedicate a top level section to
specifying the minimal pairing service.

Using a pre-existing asymmetric security association, we can use a key exchange similar to
IKEv2 (RFC 7296). IKEv2 leverages the SIGMA protocols, which provide various methods of authenticated DH.
It would also be possible to authenticate DH using symmetric passwords (e.g. Bellovin-Merritt).
