A novel algorithm to prevent man in the middle attack in LAN environment
Secure web sites usually use HTTPS connection to secure transactions such as money transactions, online payment, and e-commerce. The use of HTTPS gives a sense of protection against attacks such as man in the middle (MITM) attack. This paper analyzes HTTPS connections against MITM by simulating real...
