Hi Chris and Christian, I would disagree. The important thing to note is that the selfie attack is not a traditional insider attack where someone with the PSK misbehaves. If you look at the paper (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/347), you will notice that Eve can fool Alice into opening a connecti

Hi Christian, It was my poor attempt at explaining the attack. The attack can happen as long as a node sends outbound connections (as a TLS client) and accepts inbound connections (as a TLS server) with the same external PSK and identity. This is likely to happen in some form of group communica
