The freshness requirement without the safety requirement is trivial
in RSA -- let Scott choose the public exponent.

No, probably not sufficient for anyone's real needs.

At the other extreme, you could go all the way to a Frankel-style
shared key generation protocol, and let Scott give Alice his half
afterward.

Has anyone publicly implemented shared key & signature generation or
Frankel, Gemmell, MacKenzie and Yung, 1997, "Proactive RSA"?
