Generically, no... It just means the traffic is encrypted, whatever it
is. e.g. I can look at bugzilla using a HTTPS connection, but I haven't
logged in, so it doesn't know who I am. That's encryption without
authentication.
But if you, then, authenticate in some way through that encrypted
connection, you get both. i.e. You log on.
