I was remembering the > description of 'Man-in-the-middle Attack' from Applied Cryptography > (Bruce Schneier) which implies that Mallory is male. I admit that I always assumed Applied Cryptography (and other papers) were always talking about a female. But that's probably because I started with an assumption about the name in the first place. That probably came from watching the Family Ties sitcom as a kid; the older daughter is named Mallory (and if you google it, you can see some amazing 80's haircuts and clothes). We can call her Marsha if you want, instead evoking Brady Bunch memories of 60's clothing and haircuts. -Peff
