No, they just specify the algorithms and bits on the wire (with a side-order

things.

If it's so trivial to compromise then why, of all the many, many papers
attacking TLS, has no-one every published an attack based on this?  In fact,
since it's so easy, perhaps you could publish a paper demonstrating it in
practice?
