" "I'm sending it to the entire list because nearly everyone who hears "about it says "Is it online?" and wants a copy. If you don't want it, "discard it. " "Enjoy! " "--Tim May " "CRYPTO GLOSSARY " "Compiled by Tim May (tcmay@netcom.com) and Eric Hughes "(hughes@soda.berkeley.edu), circa September 1992. " "*** agoric systems -- open, free market systems in which "voluntary transactions are central. " "*** Alice and Bob -- cryptographic protocols are often made "clearer by considering parties A and B, or Alice and Bob, "performing some protocol. Eve the eavesdropper, Paul the "prover, and Vic the verifier are other common stand-in names. " "*** ANDOS -- all or nothing disclosure of secrets." etc...
