 ## Key agreement for announcement packet and for session

+Initial announcement is shared out-of-band (URI with xrcp scheme), and it is not encrypted.
 
 This announcement contains only DH keys, as KEM key is too large to include in QR code, which are used to agree encryption key for host HELLO block. The host HELLO block will containt DH key in plaintext part and KEM encapsulation (public) key in encrypted part, that will be used to determine the shared secret (using SHA256 over concatenated DH shared secret and KEM encapsulated secret) both for controller HELLO response (that contains KEM cyphertext in plaintext part) and subsequent session commands and responses.

 ```
 
 If controller fails to store the new host DH key after receiving HELLO block, the encryption will become out of sync and the host won't be able to decrypt the next announcement. To mitigate it, the host should keep the last session DH key and also previous session DH key to try to decrypt the next announcement computing shared secret using both keys (first the new one, and in case it fails - the previous).
 
+To decrypt multicast announcement, the host should try to decrypt it using the keys of all known (paired) remote controllers.
