So, how should the 'locked boxes' analogy be fixed?

  I believe the question is how can you be secure if someone is listening to both sides of the conversation and the answer is you can't in this scenario.

  Quote from the post: "There's just a small problem. It's not with the box analogy: as another commenter noted, it's a well known example example you'll find in great books like Simon Singh's The Code Book." The problem is not the analogy, the "locked-box" analogy is fine. The problem is that the math is flawed. The math is not equivalent to the analogy.
