commit fd4a91192ccab2cfda2c4b7887730a84152d5fa7
Author: Philipp Winter <phw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    When authenticating, also test epoch boundaries.
    
    On occasion, a client's or a server's epoch might already have increased
    whereas the epoch of the other party didn't.  This is a benign event and there
    is no reason to fail authentication because of this.  As a result, as a server,
    we now also test boundary values, i.e., epoch - 1, epoch, epoch + 1.
