Hi,
You can also find the reference in Schneir __Applied_Crytography__ text;
and in
Pfleeger's __Security_in_Computing__ .
Koblitz in his __Number_Theory_and_Crypto__ used names like
'Aida' and 'Bernardo'.
I like 'Anna' ( think the old morse code naviation system " . _ " = a ;
"_ ." = n; and
''Anna'' is a 'palindrome name' ; You could use also, "Alyssa" (think
Milano).
Boris (Russion), Bruce.
Carol, Carl, Carlos, Charles is the "Certificate Authority"
'Evan' could also be an eavesdropper (just think Evil).
"Trent" is the "Digital 'Trusted' Notary. Also known as "Ted".
Sincerely yours,
Joe Tag,Jr.

I know about Alice and Bob in general. But does anyone have a
pointer to a
complete list of which names are commonly used, and what Roles
those names
are used for? E.g. Eve is used for an evesdropper. Someone else
(I forgot
who) can alter packets, though.
