Abstract
A method and apparatus for fairly exchanging documents. A first document is shared between principal Y and third party Z. A second document is shared between principal X and third party Z. Z verifies that the sharing of the first and second documents has been performed correctly without Z understanding either document. If verified, Z sends its shares of the first and second documents to Y and X, respectively. X and Y verify that Z's shares are authentic.
