DiffieHellmanProtokoll
The DiffieHellmanProtokoll, often referred to as Diffie-Hellman key exchange, is a cryptographic method for securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public communication channel. It was introduced by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. The protocol allows two parties, who have no prior knowledge of each other, to jointly establish a shared secret key that can then be used for symmetric encryption.
The core idea of Diffie-Hellman relies on the mathematical difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem. Both
While the Diffie-Hellman key exchange is a fundamental concept in cryptography, it is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle
