Three-party in a sentence as an adjective

They can handle a 'marketplace' or three-party transaction and I liked that stunt with the block of ice.

You don't need the three-party handshake. A sends packet to B, which gets dropped by B's stateful firewall.

It would be slightly less evil without NAT. You'd still need the three-party handshake but it would always work. You'd no longer have the symmetric NAT craziness.

That is: the design of a three-party protocol is very different from and much more complex than a two-party protocol. And it gets even more complicated once you want one of the parties to be able to decrypt and validate but not forge messages.

Do you take a percent fee on each transaction, and if so, how do you enforce it given that you're using three-party escrow such as this? If you're doing it right, they can literally complete the transaction without your help and perhaps should only feel compelled to pay you while you're actively involved in resolving disputes.
