[security-dev 00027]: Re: DTLS implementation

[Christian Uebber]

Hello Andreas,

I appreciate your offers, thank you. Meanwhile I have got this project  
accepted as my thesis by the Chair for Computer Networks and Internet  
at the University of Tuebingen. My academic advisor is Mr. Ali Fessi.

On the weekend I went through the javax.net.ssl and sun.security.ssl  
classes and was pleasantly surprised to find such an exceptional  
quality. Spread out over numerous classes I've found excellent  
separation of concerns and extensive documentation. It's going to be  
fun to work with and I'll work hard to hold up this standard.

There probably won't be many questions about the JSSE part from my  
side. For any deeper architectural and 'political' issues regarding  
the JDK I'll not hesitate to ask you first. Comments on my code are  
also always welcome.

Give me 2-3 weeks for the first exemplary pieces of code. I don't want  
to waste your time with half-cooked stuff.

Christian
