Illustration of the Diffie–Hellman Key ExchangeThe Diffie-Hellman key exchange is a way for people to secretly share information. When two people want to use, they often only have an insecure channel to exchange., and developed a that allows this information exchange over an insecure channel. The resulting protocol has become known as Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Sometimes it is called Diffie-Hellman key agreement, Diffie-Hellman key establishment, Diffie-Hellman key negotiation or Exponential key exchange. Using this protocol, both parties agree on a secret key. They use this key to their communication using a.The scheme was first published by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. Diffie-Hellman key agreement itself is an (non-), it provides the basis for a variety of authenticated protocols, and is used to provide in 's short-lived modes.In the original description papers, the Diffie-Hellman exchange by itself does not provide of the communicating parties and is thus susceptible to a.

An attacking person in the middle may establish two different Diffie-Hellman key exchanges, with the two members of the party 'A' and 'B', appearing as 'A' to 'B', and, allowing the attacker to decrypt (and read or store) then re-encrypt the messages passed between them. A method to the communicating parties to each other is generally needed to prevent this type of attack.Many include a Diffie-Hellman exchange.

When two parties 'A' and 'B' have a, they may digitally sign the agreed key 'G', or G A and G B, as in, and the component of the protocol suite for securing communications. When 'A' and 'B' share a password, they may use a form of Diffie-Hellman.
