Instead, create a secure key exchange protocol. Actually, don't do that: just steal one. Why is this a good idea? 1: Get to use analysis work already done 2: Avoids making mistakes 3: Now that CCS and Finished is potentially on the chopping block, we can actually make a key exchange protocol satisfying standard properties, and couple to a record layer that is secure, about 20 years too late. Sincerely, Watson Ladd (Note that we need an additional property: as Hugo Krawczyk was kind enough to point out to me channel binding is not necessarily supported by any key-exchange protocol)
