I am reading OpenVPN security overview here: [url]https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/security-overview.html[/url] My question is, why does the description say [code]"P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V1 -- Key method 1, initial key from client, forget previous state."[/code] when this message type does not include any key (and would not make sense to send key in plaintext anyways). All is being sent is session_id, packet_id and some other parameters, so does it say "initial key from client"? Or am I confusing something here? Thank you.

Question regarding first OpenVPN message type

I am reading OpenVPN security overview here: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/security-overview.html

My question is, why does the description say

"P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V1 -- Key method 1, initial key from client, forget previous state."

when this message type does not include any key (and would not make sense to send key in plaintext anyways). All is being sent is session_id, packet_id and some other parameters, so does it say "initial key from client"?

Or am I confusing something here?

Thank you.
