Secret handshakes - members of groups advertising their membership of an ingroup to potential ingroup members
the potential 'ingroup' members don't know the 'secret handshake'. If they did they would be actual members.
They are "potential" in that person A does not know that person B is actual fellow member of the ingroup. Thus, for person B, person B is an actual member of the ingroup, and person A is a potential member, but for person A, person B is a potential member of the ingroup and person A is a potential member. The problem is that we want person A to be able to find out that person B is a member of the ingroup, without person C finding out that person B is a member of the ingroup.
