The first one is simple if you relate it to public key sharing in network security. Place the diamond in the box. Secure the box with your lock. Send it to your friend. So far, it's safe from the courier. When your friend receives the box, she secures the box with her lock and sends it back to you. Still safe. You remove your lock and send it back to her.
