The actual data transfer is accomplished using a relay, either using raw TCP sockets or websockets. If both computers are on the LAN network then *croc* will use a local relay, otherwise a public relay is used. All the data going through the relay is encrypted using the PAKE-generated session key, so the relay can't spy on information passing through it. The data is transferred in blocks, where each block is compressed and encrypted, and the recipient keeps track of blocks received so that it can resume the transfer if interrupted.
