Agreed. In fact, the only time I read or write unencrypted is during
the "handshaking" process.

I didn't realize this when I started converting the TPP class over to
SRS. I've hacked it a bit to handle that.

You can see my code in progress at:

(This is a snapshot of the code as I am working on it right now, so
expect many changes, and some left-over code from TPP).

Now, if I could just connect to the server, I could test this ... :)
