ProtocolSpecified

Protocol-Specified refers to the set of rules, procedures, and standards that govern how data is formatted, transmitted, and processed in computer networking, communication systems, and other technical domains. These protocols are designed to ensure consistency, reliability, and compatibility across different systems, devices, and environments.

In many cases, protocols are specified and standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and other governing bodies. For example, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) are fundamental protocols that govern how data is transmitted over the internet.

Protocol-Specified protocols typically involve a set of rules or syntax that specifies how data should be formatted and structured, as well as how it should be transmitted and received. This ensures that the data can be processed accurately and efficiently by both sending and receiving devices, regardless of their make, model, or operating system.

In software development, protocol-specification plays a crucial role in designing and building communication systems, APIs, and interfaces. It helps developers create robust and interoperable systems that can communicate effectively with other systems, devices, and applications.

Examples of protocol-specified protocols include finger print authentication, SFTP, WS-*. Many organizations and national bodies have there on versions of the protocols. Protocol-Specified protocols continue to play an integral role in enabling the seamless exchange of data between systems, devices, and applications, underpinning the functionality of a wide range of products and services.
