We have to be careful when using this terminology. 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.
