Handshake sending my contact info to strangers!

I've received someone elses contact info as well. Scary stuff. I think the current algorithm for sending/receiving using handshake needs to be tweaked. Although it's a bit of a hassle I wouldn't mind having to "link" to another iPhone if it ensures some type of security

I proposed this problem but Tapulous said it's not possible. I guess that's why it was pulled.

My girlfriend and I loaded Friend Book on our iPhones. When we tried the shake feature, she would get my card. I, however, was getting random people throughout the country. The next morning one of the contact I received contacted my girlfriend. I'm thinking this program is still flawed. I will be very interested when I know what is happening to my contact info.

I think I was the person who emailed you, Zach, if your name is Zach Rosing. Yes, this is quite a problem, it would be a cool feature if there was more security.

Don't worry, I deleted all your info from my iPod. =)

I haven't used the Handshake feature yet, but I'm thinking about the Apple Remote app and wondering it that might present a possible solution. For those who haven't downloaded and used Remote yet (you should, it's free!), it allows your iPhone or iPod Touch to control a iTunes or Apple TV in your local Wi-Fi network.

Before it can do this, you connect Remote to the library by putting Remote in a "Add Library" discovery mode. In this mode, the iPhone will present a four digit passcode, which you then enter on the iTunes / AppleTV library you wish to control.

Perhaps when Friend Book finishes the exchange of cards, rather than presenting the card, it instead prompts for a code. The receiver then asks the giver for the code on the phone, and once entered, allows the received card to be displayed. Without the code, no information is retained.

So the steps would be as followed, mostly the same as now:

1) Place two iPhones together.
2) Perform a gentle handshake gesture.
3) Exchange cards through the cloud. Each person gets a code to give to the other to allow the other to see the exchanged card.
4) Enter code, review exchanged cards and save.

Does this sound possible and would it prevent the problems that have been mentioned in this thread?

I downloaded the app as well last night, but it didn't seem to work at all for me when I tried sending my card to my husband's phone last night. Now I'm worried and scared about who got my info. And I tried it quite a few times last night. Hopefully the people were kind enough to delete my info.
