Yes, I’ve been assuming that the underlying OS makes it possible to create a 
socket that can be read from/written to using regular socket I/O functions like 
“recvfrom()”/“sendto()” - i.e., with the underlying OS doing the requisite 
encryption/decryption automatically.

But if, in fact, that’s not possible, and you require separate ‘user level’ 
socket I/O functions to read from/write to a TLS socket, then no, this cannot 
be done with our library.  Sorry.
