Bob and Alice routinely discuss bombs, terrorism, tax cheating, sexual
infidelity, and deviant sex over the internet.  They conspire to commit
crimes, share banned texts and suppressed news, or topple tyrannical
governments whose agents eavesdrop on their every communication.  They
do all this with utmost secrecy and unbreakable codes.

However, Alice and Bob do not even trust each other.

A protocol designer then, is someone who does not think that Alice
and Bob are insane.
