Appearing in the seminal paper by Diffie and Hellman, the first published public-key algorithm that defined public-key cryptography [DIFF76] is referred to as the Diffie-Hellman key exchange (Stallings & Brown, 2018).
- Define the Diffie-Hellman key exchange? How is this information relevant to you?
- What is the purpose of the algorithm? Be specific.
- How does it work? Give an example from personal experience or one that you have read about.
- What would be an appropriate implementation in an organization for the algorithm?
- In what types of organizations would this be appropriate?
