Alice will use Bob's public key to encrypt the message, so the message
can be read by Bob and no one else, as only he has the corresponding
private key.

While MIAB proposes the use of blog pings (see section 3.1.1 of the
paper) to distribute the messages and a MIAB client to embed them, our
idea for this project is to come up with a similar system, but one that
will allow: a). embedding secrets (like in our case, bridge addresses)
in a website(s), b). detecting these secrets when a user navigates to them.

So, while theoretically what we aim to do is similar to MIAB, the
practical implementation will be different and coming up with that
design will constitute the main part of your application.
