The definition of server, for example, has two common meanings. For the general public, a server is some machine that seats in a computer center and provides a set of services. In many protocol definitions, the server is the party in the communication that accepts a TCP connection. Obviously, the privacy requirements are derived from the first definition, not the second one, and we should make that very clear. -- Christian Huitema
