I was asked what an encryption algo should be used in Arbitrary Messages. It's up to u. But u could use https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,727.0.html, it's quite simple.

What's current encryption method of AM ? Exactly as written here? https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,727.0.html

AM encrypts nothing. It's just a transport of raw bytes.

I'd prefer sticking with curve25519 for messages.
The public keys are already in the protocol, so you don't need to transamit new ones, it's save, it's easy because you have all the dependencies already there, and it fits the problem perfectly...
