Agree.

I started building this out last year to explore web crypto and webrtc but got sidetracked.

Have you looked into webcrypto? Create a new ecdh keypair for each session for each party, keep the private inextricable in memory, trade public keys over webrtc. This (I think) ensures no-one can evesdrop.

Peer auth could occur normally with ecdsa signatures done OUTSIDE of the browser or whatever.
