Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Holding state between packets for an encryption protocol?

Hi all,

I'm looking at writing my first dissector for a protocol which generates a session key to encrypt the remaining packets.

Where can I store this session key so that it's available for subsequent packets?

What's a good dissector to use as an example of this class of protocols?

Thanks,

Dave
