Like Kyle, I'm also uncomfortable with the use of the word "spec."
How about "mechanism" instead? That enables separation between
- Encryption mechanism (what is done to produce the bits "on the wire")
- Specification of an encryption mechanism or encryption mechanism
spec[ification] (what's in the doc)
The latter specifications are actually protocol specifications (e.g., they
include
key exchange in addition to encryption).
Thanks, --David
