Abstract
In this report, we demonstrate the pros and cons of Diffie–Hellman key exchange algorithm that is commonly used for the exchange of keys in private-key cryptosystem. A very frequently occurring problem of Diffie–Hellman key exchange algorithm during transmission of the keys through some channel is the Man-In-The-Middle Attack. Security of the message gets affected due to this attack because the attacker who is in the middle of the sender and receiver of the message tampers the message and modifies it according to his/her need. There are some well-known solutions available for the prevention of this attack. Our aim is to review those available techniques.
