Please review the following visual depiction of Diffie Hellman Key Exchange: http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/index.php?action=viewtopic&id=196 I would like to recieve corrections, or ideas on how to improve the diagram so it is self-explanatory.
I think that the first thing to do is choose some other Random numbers.. they caused some confusion at first about how much info Evil Eye had. The second thing I would do is put into the Evil Eye info what he knows (assuming he knows the equation being used etc). This would show at the end that he doesnt know the secret key but has to guess at what either XA or XB is.
