Abstract
A system and method for enabling safety in and for initial impromptu meetings facilitated by electronic devices. Prior to the meeting, participants each download a same generated event ticket and the public key of the other meeting participant. At the meeting location, each individual's electronic device via a mobile application initiates close-proximity communication with the other mobile application; signs the ticket with its stored private key; exchanges signed tickets; verifies the received signed ticket using the downloaded public key; and compares the verified signed ticket with the downloaded ticket to authenticate the other individual.
