Abstract

Cryptography is related and referred to as the secured transmission of messages amongst the sender and the intended receiver by ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Diffie - Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol is a well-known algorithm that would generate a shared secret key among the sender and the intended receiver, and the basis of cryptosystems for using public and private key for encryption and decryption process. But it is severely affected by the Man in the Middle (MITM) attack that would intercept and manipulate thus eavesdropping the shared secret key. This paper proposes a model of integrating the public-key RSA cryptography system with the DH key exchange to prevent the MITM attack. The performance of the proposed work has been compared to the DH Key Exchange algorithm as well as RSA Cryptosystem to conclude for effectiveness of the proposed model.
