All,
If I have learned anything from socket code it is that you can never be
sure if you get a partial or a full packet.
While that is true if you are using a socket associated with say a TCP
connection, it is not true if you are using a socket associated with
UDP, nor, at least in some modes, SCTP. "It depends" :) The question
isn't whether something is a socket, but what is the protocol beneath
the socket.

as for the rest of the question, if the encryption layer didn't in and
of itself provide message boundaries, one could I assume start to
decrept the possibly partial message and proceded as in the
non-encrypted case?
