A doubt in encryption
(lemmy.ml)
There’s a server, a client, and a hacker in a network. For encryption, the client and the server need to share their private keys. Wouldn’t the hacker be able to grab those during their transmission and decrypt further messages as they please?
Why are they sharing private keys?
The point of the system is you share public key so others can encrypt data and the you use your private key do decrypt it.
