3 min readJan 3, 2023
The Diffie-Hellman (DH) method is perhaps one of the greatest inventions in Cybersecurity and was created by Whitfield Diffie and Marty Hellman. With the DH method, Bob creates a random value (b) and Alice also creates a random value (a). Next Bob computes B=g^b (mod p) and sends it to Alice. Alice computes A=g^a (mod p) and sends this to Bob. Bob raises the value of A to the power of b and takes (mod…
