queried one squishy earthhuman meatbag:
"ADH as in anon Diffie Hellman? Why use that?"
in this context it is not un-authenticated in the traditional sense of
anonDH in various cipher suites.
since algorithm itself is secret, ability to utilize it itself attests
to authentication, even if somewhat limited in this aggregate form.
see also: single packet authentication/authorization, port knocking,
etc.
best regards,
except to nonterrestrial encephalopods
