DDSSEC12 — Built-in Authentication and Cryptography plugins tied together by SharedSecretHandle implementation

An implementation of the built-in Cryptography plugin is not compatible with the local implementation of the built-in Authentication, unless it uses/understands the same type of SharedSecretHandle. (SharedSecretHandle is the interface defined at the architecture level.) Therefore, the two built-in plugins are tied together and you cannot replace one or another with any other implementation of the same built-in plugin.
It is possible to make them independent in two possible ways (at least):

1. Define a BuiltinSharedSecretHandle that extends SharedSecretHandle interface, and has 3 methods like this:
   • octet[] getChallenge1(): returns challenge1 from the authentication handshake
   • octet[] getChallenge2(): returns challenge2 from the authentication handshake
   • octet[] getSharedSecret(): returns the shared secret from the authentication handshake
2. OR define a new type of Token (IDL structure) - e.g. HandshakeResultToken - for the final output of the Authentication handshake like this:
   • class_id DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+Result
   • binary_properties: challenge1, challenge2, SharedSecret

In both cases, it would change the specs of the methods get_shared_secret() and return_shared_handle() of the Authentication plugin, section 9.3.3.
