Alice and Bob, also just A and B, are the standard example users in writing on cryptography and coding theory. Carol and Dave join them for protocols which require more players. Bruce Schneier extends these [1] with many others such as Eve the Eavesdropper and Victor the Verifier. His extensions seem to be in the process of becoming standard as well.
Alice and Bob have an amusing biography on the web.
