Would this be illegal?

Alice and Bob, Aussie and British citizens respectively, each create Elliptical curve key pairs.

Alice and Bob call each other and exchange their public keys.

They then send messages to each other, using ECIES.

Suppose they do rapid ephemeral key exchanges. Would the govt like to keep track of the ephemeral keys too? How many?

Can I generate an ephemeral key every 100 ms or so.

Will the government like to keep track of all the keys?

Programs like Signal: can Dick ban them? How?

Alice’s homeland dictator, Dick, may get overwhelmed.
