Hi Asaf,

That is not a bug.

There is a difference between checking the equality of the contents of
two byte arrays and determining if two variables refer to exactly the
same array. In the above case we are checking to see if auth.challenge
and session.transport.server.encryptionKey refer to the same exact
array object.

Don't worry, you're not the only person to report this "bug" :->

Mike
