Re: [TLS] [sasl] lasgt call comments (st Call: draft-altman-tls-channel-bindings (Channel Bindings for TLS) to Proposed Standard)

Larry,

Certainly the TLS library knows when there's a new connection, because
it receives (on the server) or sends (on the client) an unencrypted 
ClientHello message?

Best regards,
Pasi
