The `hkexsh` client follows a standard Golang client connection style, but replaces calls to raw `net.Dial()` with `hkexnet.Dial()`, and likewise the `hkexshd` server uses `hkexnet.Listen()` to obtain connections conforming to the basic `net.Conn` interface.

As of this time (Oct 2018) Kyber is one of the candidate algorithms submitted to the NIST post-quantum cryptography project. The authors recommend using it in "... so-called hybrid mode in combination with established "pre-quantum" security; for example in combination with elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman." THIS PROJECT DOES NOT DO THIS (again, THIS PROJECT IS EXPERIMENTAL.)

NEWHOPE NewHope1024-CCA-KEM and 'NEWHOPE-SIMPLE'
Similar caveats to the above KYBER IND-CCA-2 KEM should be observed.
-----
The client and server programs are written in such a way that it is relatively simple to extend or swap out the key agreement phase to use other algorithms (for instance I was able to add KYBER as a second key exchange mechanism in a single evening.)
