Talk:Alice and Bob

RFD discussion: April–July 2020
"(cryptography) Two people wishing to communicate securely with each other, Alice sending Bob information." They are a common pair, but so's coffee and donuts; they don't need to occur in the and-formation. We have adequate entries at and  for these cryptographic placeholder people (plus there are others, like  the malicious interceptor, and  and, the prover and verifier.)

 * Keep My preference would be the removal of the entries at and  in exchange for keeping this entry, but I realize I am in the minority and likely not within policy on that front (since I don't contribute much here). &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 01:09, 13 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Then we won't have any entry that explains a sentence like "Alice transmits message M to Bob". We cover words and phrases, not topics, and Alice can occur without "and Bob", as shown. Equinox ◑ 01:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. We should add some usexes/quotes for this sense to Alice and Bob. – Jberkel 09:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
