The idea behind the Diffie-Hellman algorithm
Chris Hughes explains how Alice and Bob can use modular arithmetic to safely share a secret, even in the presence of eavesdroppers.
A worked example of how the Diffie-Hellman key exchange works.
Check the calculations as Chris talks you through the example. Did you manage to successfully follow all of the steps?
