Sure. My comment about symmetry comes from the fact that the thing
being decrypted on the server was first encrypted on the client.  But
of course, I was being dumb writing email while distracted, because
it's encrypted with the server's public key, and the keys are not
symmetric .. that being the whole point :)

(It's the HMAC key for the session in the initial netsync handshake,
see comments in netsync.cc under authentication -- and yes this needs
to change).
