Section: 6.1

Original Text
-------------
   *  Epoch value (2) is used for messages protected using keys derived
      from [sender]_handshake_traffic_secret.  Messages transmitted
      during the initial handshake, such as EncryptedExtensions,
      CertificateRequest, Certificate, CertificateVerify, and Finished,
      belong to this category.  Note, however, that post-handshake
      messages are protected under the appropriate application traffic
      key and are not included in this category.

Corrected Text

Notes
-----
The discussion of "initial handshake" appears to be a remnant of DTLS 1.2, 
where a single connection may have multiple handshakes via renegotiation. In 
(D)TLS 1.3, there is only one handshake per connection.

Looking to RFC 8446, the only references to "initial handshake" refer to 
resumption, talking about the handshake in the initial connection, vs the 
handshake in resumption connections. This reference is not trying to 
distinguish initial vs resumption handshakes, so the use of "initial handshake" 
is a bit confusing. I believe plain "handshake" is the right terminology.

NB: There are two other references to "initial handshake", one in the diagram 
in Section 8, and another in Section 11. I believe they too should be switched 
to "handshake".

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it 
will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
