@nibanks the retry token is part of the initial encryption associated data, so if you remove it you'll need to recompute the crypto anyway.

@marten-seemann can you elaborate on what the consequences of this attack are? It sounds like the attacker can close the connection by sending a bad retry. How is that different from having the attacker send a bad retry that changes the CID and contains a bogus retry token?
