This is cool in the sense you can have a mode where you have to establish a link before you can start communicating, this is something @semisol tried to do awhile back but this appears to achieve the same thing? Just send a giftwrap of key aliases to the user to let them know how to contact you. Neat.

Also resending this alias list would be the similar thing on signal: “user changed their safety number”
If your root npub leaked and the attacker tried changing the keys, you would see this.
Maybe there is a broader way to do all nostr encryptions via aliases, but I don't see it yet (a use-case-agnostic scheme gets too complicated too quickly)
