KNOW THY ENEMY !? ALICE,BOB,CHUCK,DAN,EVE The most common characters are Alice and Bob. Eve, Mallory, and Trent are also common names, and have fairly well-established "personalities" (or functions). The names often use rhyming mnemonics (for example, Eve, "eavesdropper"; Mallory, "malicious"). Other names are much less common, and flexible in use. Alice and Bob. The original, generic characters. > Generally, Alice and Bob want to exchange a message or cryptographic key. Carol, Carlos (essentially an anagram of Carol with an added S), or Charlie. A generic third participant. Chuck. A third participant, usually of malicious intent. Craig. A password cracker, often encountered in situations with stored passwords. Dan, Dave or David. A generic fourth participant. Erin. A generic fifth participant, but rarely used, as "E" is usually reserved for Eve. Eve. An eavesdropper, who is usually a passive attacker. While they can listen in on messages between Alice and Bob, they cannot modify them. In quantum cryptography, Eve may also represent the environment. Faythe. A trusted advisor, courier or intermediary. Faythe is used infrequently, and is associated with Faith and Faithfulness. Faythe may be a repository of key service or courier of shared secrets. Frank. A generic sixth participant. Grace. A government representative. For example, Grace may try to force Alice or Bob to implement back doors in their protocols. Grace may also deliberately weaken standards. Heidi. A mischievous designer for cryptographic standards, but rarely used. Ivan. An Issuer, mentioned first by Ian Grigg in the context of Ricardian contracts. Sauce: > https://101blockchains.com/ricardian-contracts/ https://www.iang.org/ricardian/ Judy. A judge who may be called upon to resolve a potential dispute between participants. Mallory or (less commonly) Mallet A malicious attacker. Associated with Trudy, an intruder. Unlike the passive Eve, Mallory/Mallet is an active attacker (often used in man-in-the-middle attacks), who can modify messages, substitute messages, or replay old messages. The difficulty of securing a system against Mallory/Mallet is much greater than against Eve. NOTE: > This is what Trump meant when he referred to "Middle Men": > [think Dominion/Smartmatic/Hammer/Scorecard] https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-wifi-what-is-a-man-in-the-middle-attack.html Michael, or Mike. Used as an alternative to the eavesdropper Eve. See Microphone. Niaj. Used as an alternative to the eavesdropper Eve in several South Asian nations. Olivia. An oracle, who provides external data to smart contracts residing on distributed ledger (commonly referred to as blockchain) systems. EXAMPLE: > https://cardano.org/ Oscar. An opponent, similar to Mallory, but not necessarily malicious. Peggy, or Pat. A prover, who interacts with the verifier to show that the intended transaction has actually taken place. Peggy is often found in zero-knowledge proofs. Rupert. A repudiator who appears for interactions that desire Non-repudiation. Sybil. A pseudonymous attacker, who usually uses a large number of identities. For example, Sybil may attempt to subvert a reputation system. See Sybil attack. Trent or Ted. A trusted arbitrator, who acts as a neutral third party. Trudy. An intruder. Victor, or Vanna. A verifier, who requires proof from the prover. Walter. A warden, who may guard Alice and Bob. Wendy. A whistleblower, who is an insider with privileged access capable of divulging information. ................. This is the basis for the development of the new Universal Hyper Language (Language of Everything). The Isisian codes and other number codes I have previously identified, will also form the backbone. I will post a more comprehensive cipher key (legend) in order to complete the code in the coming months. https://viperxcrypto.com/gematria-decodes "Learn Our Comms." D5 Thank you. NMBRFG. WWG1WGA! <
