This command is used to respond to both of them, or to initiate a shared-secret style exchange. Use the <emphasis>otr smpq</emphasis> command to initiate a "Q&amp;A" session.

Use <emphasis>otr smpq</emphasis> to pose your challenge. In a shared-secret exchange, both parties set their trust according to the outcome.

You must be confident that only they know the answer. If the protocol succeeds (i.e. they answer correctly), the fingerprint will be trusted.

+                                        When initiating SMP, this is an alternative to the 'otr smp' command. The shared secret is provided as the answer to a specific question. The question is transmitted with the initial SMP packet and used to prompt the other party. If the protocol succeeds (i.e. they give the correct answer), the fingerprint will be trusted.
