public class PrivateConnection
extends Connection
A Connection that implements private communication. "Private" means that the communication is protected by encryption, with separate crypto keys used to protect data traveling in different directions along the connection.

This class is a "wrapper" class: you use it to establish private communication on a Connection that is already set up and connected to the right place. The other end had better wrap the Connection in a PrivateConnection at the same time you do, or else confusion will ensue.
