What It Is

A man-in-the-middle attack is a general concept from encryption. It consists of two parties, Alice and Bob, trying to have an encrypted conversation. However, it is foiled by an attacker, Eve, who gets in the middle. This means that Alice and Eve communicate with one encryption key, while Bob and Eve communicate with another key.
