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?
Ok, semantics - for RSA you generate a private key, then derive the public key from that private key, and you could publicly post your private key if you wanted to. "Public" and "private" are just names.
