It took me way to long to realize they are always called Alice, bob, Charlie, Daniel... so I can strip them of their humanity and just call them A,B,C,D...


CheapMonkey34

And Eve is the eavesdropper….


Creeper4wwMann

I graduated and I'm hearing about this *NOW??*


GustapheOfficial

*how* did you graduate?


PityUpvote

That's entirely on you.


el_lley

Oh, it’s not that simple, E is Eva for an evaesdropper, M is Mallory for a malicious user, and so on.


mrrobot01001000

Took me 36 years, I am 36


Aaron1924

If you just have A and B, you can also refer to them as "she" and "he" in your explanation John Conway also remarked once that it's nice how the woman comes first

As xkcd states, having Alice and Bob in it can be a trap to force IT-People to listen to any boring story


Ion_GPT

Alice and Bob were dancing on a spider web Because the web was holding them, they called Charlie Alice, Bob and Charlie were dancing on a spider web Because the web was holding they called Daniel Alice, Bob, Charlie and Daniel

Wait, no Eve? No Mallory?


Confident-Potato2772

I like it, but Eve and Mallory has never been included in any lecture I’ve heard.


Boris-Lip

Then who has been an eavesdropper and a malicious attacker?

BL1NDX3N0N

Wait until you get to Jody.


AlastorMoody34

oh i thought that was mallory


TheBelgianDuck

IIRC Mallory is generic Malicious. Charlie is a MF anyway.


x0wl

It's all fun and games until Mallory joins in


PhilippTheProgrammer

I only know that when the metadata of their conversation is encoded in a way that is vulnerable to sidechannel attacks.


iLiekTaost

as a programmer by trade but with a physicist background I thought I was in r/physicsmemes and thought the topic was relativity


wutwutwut2000

Same for a sec. Although I've seen it used in word problems in many fields


YeetyBoiisss

my exact thought…


bloodfist

Eve overheard and knows too


Dmayak

Modern Romeo and Juliet trying to keep their connection a secret. Very secret.


Orisphera

There are games where you can prove that Alice wins without finding the strategy. If Bob has a strategy, Alice can steal it. In other words, Alice can play against two Bobs and beat at least one of them

Now that's when you know you're screwed


UndisclosedChaos

Eve doesn’t know, but she would love to find out

And if it's about Alice and John its suddenly about jazz


kylechamrick

I usually go for fruit and veg (apple, banana, carrot, durian, eggplant, etc.). It gets rough on longer lists.
