Make the key exchange resilient against Quantum Computers? #14

Currently the only part of input of the hash used to calculate session keys comes from the DH key agreement protocol (either the Finite Field or the Elliptic Curve one).

Unfortunately DH protocol is not secure against Quantum Computers.

Should we introduce secrets sent using GSSAPI encryption to the hash input so that the session keys are resilient against Quantum Computer attacks?
