I can't narrow it down, but the "I think we should stab bad guys", coming from a possibly not psychologically 'normal' young girl, comes from ''something''.  Firefly? Not sure, and I've not seen all of the Sarah Connor Chronicles yet, either, to my shame.  Too early a comic to be Parker from Leverage (right attitude, though, c.f. when she got horribly cold-read by the fake psychic and got told what he'd done to her).  But it's that sort of character.

You can (and often do, depending upon session type/requirements) as part of a handshaking method, using a public key that only the owner's private key can decrypt, so that only the intended recipient with their private-decrypting key can make use of what has been encrypted. (Typically double-encrypted, with the other layer being your private-encryption, for which only your publicly available decryption is valid, so that both parties now know that... as long as they trust the other's public keys for being genuine... in this particular session they can ''only'' be sharing information with the other party.) But this, and further additions of complication resulting from additionally trusted third-parties/etc, is perhaps too complicated to add up there. So just mentioning it here.
