Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol (Individual Hand-In)
The security of many cryptographic techniques depends on a challenging mathematical concept-the discrete log problem (Anderson, 2008, Section 5.7.2). For this Assignment, you will review the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol and describe how to address common attacks on that protocol. You will also perform some basic calculations.
To complete this Assignment:
For this Assignment, submit a single document with your answers to the following: Review the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol discussed in the lecture and list some of the attacks on Diffie-Hellman. Explain your solutions for avoiding such attacks. Calculate the value of the symmetric key and the values of R1 and R2 in the Diffie-Helman Protocol for the set of given values.
