Note, in many cases what we have is "authenticated sessions". Not
all protocols are "connection oriented", and notably TLS supports

optimal. I had used "authenticated encrypted communication" as
suggested, but will see whether that is still needed after further
suggested revisions.
I agree that non-connection-oriented protocols can cause confusion here,
so "authenticated sessions" may be better.
