Absolutely correct -- I am not inventing anything. I am getting all my
algorithms from Schneier. I haven't decided yet if I want to do a
public-key system to use coin-flipping to build a session key for a
symmetric cipher, or if I want to use hashes for the coin-flipping.

I wasn't planning on blazing new territory. :)

I just want to know if an object encrypted in one VM can be decrypted
and used in another VM, which is probably over the network.

Thanks for your concern. :)
