+# Encrypting data between client and host
+
+A successfully completed handshake, as embedded in the
+INTRODUCE/RENDEZVOUS cells, gives the client and hidden service host
+a shared set of keys Kf, Kb, Df, Db, which they use for sending
+end-to-end traffic encryption and authentication as in the regular
+Tor relay encryption protocol, applying encryption with these keys
+before other encryption, and decrypting with these keys before other
+decryption. The client encrypts with Kf and decrypts with Kb; the
+service host does the opposite.
