Abstract

Key exchange algorithms such as the Die-Hellman method are used to determine a common secret key which will be used in symmetric key algorithms in cryptography. In this paper, we give a key exchange algorithm which includes some steps of Die-Hellman method by using algorithms of the topological basic concepts such as subbase, base and topology.

Keywords

cryptography, Die-Hellman method, key exchange algorithms, topology
