authentication protocols

[John Saylor]

Hi

I'd like to find an authentication protocol that fits my needs:
1. 2 [automated] parties
2. no trusted 3rd party intemediary ['Trent' in _Applied_Crypto_]

Most of the stuff in _Applied_Crypto_ requires that third party. It may
be an impossible task, nothing seems obvious to me. Pointers,
suggestions, or aphorisms all welcome.
