Abstract

The classical situation in cryptology, which we will consider below, is the following: There are two parties, A (called “Alice” in the jargon) and B (called “Bob”). Alice would like to send a message to Bob by some channel. But this channel is unsecure because in-between the two, there is some adversary (“enemy”, eavesdropper) E (called “Eve”) who either wants

  • to listen in on the message sent from A to B and/or

  • to send a message herself to B, asserting that this message comes from A and/or

  • to change a message indeed sent by A to B.
