package xsnet

// Implementation of HKEx-wrapped versions of the golang standard
// net package interfaces, allowing clients and servers to simply replace
// 'net.Dial' and 'net.Listen' with 'hkex.Dial' and 'hkex.Listen'
// (though some extra methods are implemented and must be used
//  for things outside of the scope of plain sockets).

// DESIGN PRINCIPLE: There shall be no protocol features which enable
// downgrade attacks. The server shall have final authority to accept or
// reject any and all proposed KEx and connection parameters proposed by
// clients at setup. Action on denial shall be a simple server disconnect
// with possibly a status code sent so client can determine why connection
// was denied (compare to how failed auth is communicated to client).
