I found there a little Windows help file containing a glossary I
already had on a CD-ROM :

"From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C. May)
"Subject: Crypto Glossary
"Date: Sun, 22 Nov 92 11:50:55 PST
"
"Here's the glossary of crypto terms we passed out in printed form at
"the first Cypherpunks meeting in September 1992. Some compromises had
"to be made in going from the printed form to the ASCII of this
"transmission, so I hope you'll bear with me.
"
"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...
